Ketemu Residency Bali, Indonesia

Ketemu Residency is a transnational artist residency program run by the Ketemu Project, a hybrid art collective and social enterprise based in Indonesia and Singapore. The residency welcomes artists, researchers and creatives from around the world to engage in a 2‑ to 4‑week stay in Bali, fostering cross‑cultural collaboration and dialogue. Participants receive a fully furnished house with indoor and outdoor studio spaces, a library of Indonesian contemporary art resources, housekeeping services, and a pick‑up service from the airport. The program also offers a letter of confirmation that can support external funding applications, and a network of volunteers and interns who assist residents throughout their research process. The residency is self‑funded; there is no stipend, but the comprehensive accommodation and studio facilities provide a low‑cost base for creative work. Applications are reviewed within 1–2 weeks, and the program can host 1–3 artists per residency period. The residency is open to all artists, researchers and creatives regardless of nationality, age or career stage, and there are no language restrictions. The program runs throughout 2026, with start dates available from January to November, and applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
