SAM International Artist Residency (Cycle 4)

Friday Abroad (7th August): SAM International Artist Residency (Cycle 4)

Category: The Showcase / Fully Funded Global Artist Residency

• The Opportunity: Singapore Art Museum (SAM) has officially launched its global open call for Residencies Cycle 4 (2027/2028). They invite international artists, sculptors, and creative practitioners working across all disciplines to undertake an immersive, funded residency.

• The "Lighthouse" Advantage: SAM Residencies actively encourage physical experimentation, material research, and community-engaged spatial practices. It provides complete freedom from commercial constraints, letting makers focus on deep material research and large-scale concept development in world-class workshop facilities.

• The Benefit: Fully funded. International residents receive a monthly living allowance, free private studio apartment, round-trip international travel coverage, plus dedicated production and research support.

• Maker Level: Intermediate to Professional.

• Deadline: 30th September 2026 (11:59 PM GMT+8).

The stories behind my artwork, the opportunities in The Lighthouse, and the reflections of the Morning Muse are my ways of keeping the lamp lit for our creative community. These resources will always be free to access. If they have found you at the right time, consider fueling the forge to help keep the fire burning. Your support, in any amount, is deeply appreciated.
