Artist Residency Program in Sasaran

  Sasaran Arts Association started a new program in Sasaran - the Artist
Residency Program in 2018, the aim is to continue promoting Sasaran as an art
village and to provide a platform for young artists to grow, explore, develop and
create their artistic work. The residencies are intended to provide an opportunity
to live and work in Sasaran, a small fishing village in the state of Selangor, and for
a duration of 2 months. We provide workspace and accommodation in a fishing
village, far away from the bustle of the city. This residency is recommended for
young artists seeking solitude, silence or space to focus on their work, to start
their journey in art.

  Sasaran Arts Association provides artists with a conducive studio space, living
arrangements and monthly stipends, along with opportunity to exhibit their
artworks at Balai Seni Sasaran Kuala Selangor (Sasaran Art Gallery) at the end of
the residency. There will be occasional open studios at the studio space to benefit
as many visitors/villagers as possible and allow the artists to show their work in
progress during their stay. Visual artists are expected to leave at least 2 art works
that has been made at Sasaran for the permanent collection of Sasaran Art
Gallery.

  Since 2018, Sasaran hosted three batches of artists in residence, the program
stopped for a year in 2021 due to the pandemic. This year Sasaran welcomes another new batch of artists for the AR Program.
