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.

A major part of my five weeks stay at Bali Purnati has been about my mind learning to be still and allowing the essence of the place and the island to seep in.
In the USA (where I currently live), most are trained to be aggressively individual. It is quite the opposite in Bali. One is welcomed and wants to become a part of the whole: nature, time, community.
My first early morning sight of the almost unbearably beautiful rice terraces at Ceking, helped me understand this.

I find the Bali Purnati to be a wonderful place. I’m very happy to stay and to work here. Purnati invited me to make some traditional paintings from Papua, where I come from. I’m planning to collaborate with an abstract painter from New York, Felicity Faulkner, who is also working at Purnati.
