As INSTINC prepares to embark on a new chapter with its relocation in Tanjong Pagar Distripark, we are pleased to announce the commencement of the application process for our esteemed Artist-in-Residence Program for the year 2023/24. Starting from December 2023 till December next year, we will be hosting 2 artists every 3 months to ensure a high level of support and flexibility.
Duration of Residency
3 months between December 2023 to December 2024
Candidates with longer availability will be prioritised. However, we encourage artists with strong interest but limited flexibility in their schedules to get in touch. We are always open to discussions about potential alternative opportunities that may align with your commitments.
Application Deadline

INSTINC Collaborative Residency
INSTINC seeks for artists/creative individuals whose work embodies clear conceptual ideas and innovative approaches that resonate deeply with the contemporary cultural landscape.
Over the years, INSTINC has been a proud host to over 120 international artists between 2009 and 2022, celebrating the synergy born from internal collaborations among like-minded creatives. The 23/24 AIR program is expected to sustain the success of past residencies, and continue to support the careers of participating artists.
We believe that 3 months would be the most ideal span of time for a creative to be inspired, formulate, elaborate thus consummate a project to the fullest. Therefore, we highly recommend candidates to apply for a 3-month commitment. However, we understand that there are unchangeable circumstances to some. If this might be you, do not hesitate to contact us and we can discuss possible arrangements.
Eligibility
We welcome artists, artist duos, collectives, or any other practitioners from any medium or discipline, irrespective of their geographical location, who are craving for a dedicated space and focused time in initiating, expanding and finalising a project.
Open to all local and international artists.
