For the month of March, STUDIOS 94 is offering twelve artists the chance to immerse themselves in our studio culture, free of charge. Designed to foster cross-cultural dialogue and creative experimentation, this one-month intensive grants artists full access to the facilities and a professional platform at 94 Gallery. This program is designed for artists of all mediums who value community, skill-sharing, and professional exhibition opportunities. They are seeking practitioners who are eager to engage with the Chiang Mai art scene, share their technical expertise through public workshops, and participate in a final group exhibition.
