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.

RICHARD LEE
Australia
Discipline: Visual Artist
In Residence: June 30 - July 30, 2016

The sense of spirits all around and the energy of lush vegetation infused my consciousness as did the fantastic mythological visions of the Ramayana
