Our Artist-in-Residency Program
The Purnati Artist-in-Residence Program has been a part of the foundation since its inception. Individual artists of all disciplines are invited to submit proposals for projects. These are completed during an extended stay on our compound for a minimum per diem fee for full room and board.
Purnati can assist in supporting such programs or it can be a self-facilitated, independent retreat. We ask that such project stimulate exchange of ideas and to inspire collaborative understanding. A free public performance or exhibition is usually organized at the end of the workshop for the community.

After ten months of traveling through America and Europe, I came to The Bali Purnati Center for the Arts for a month long residency. It was the last month of my long journey, and I wasn't expecting such a beautiful, supportive and inspiring environment.
ARUL RAMIAH
Discipline: Dancer
In Residence: February 26,2012
Tonight’s performance found me. The gods of Bali appear to have conspired with the staff in Purnati. At their gentle urging I started working with the Balinese dance goddess Murni. Under Murni’s stern command I was initiated into secret ceremonial Balinese dances – rejang and legong.
