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.

In Residence: 2010
It was a great challenge during my stay to create contemporary art that avoids the traditional artistic impression of Bali. With the tremendous help from all the staff members and the wonderful support of Lady Restu, we created locations for staged hotography that allowed us to investigate different points of view - those of upside down, the colour of a 21st century portrait and plastics as aesthetics.
