An ongoing open call for the What About Art? international artists residency (WAA) in Mumbai. This is a paid residency which offers studio space, accommodation, professional networking and more. WAA was launched in 2013 with the aim to facilitate and support art practice.

One of the few art residencies in Mumbai, India, the residency provides individual studio space, accommodation, professional networking opportunities and an intellectually stimulating environment for dialogue on visual arts practices for artists and curators. In addition, the residency regularly organises artist talks and open studios.

The residency is situated in the heart of Mumbai in Bandra, a vibrant neighbourhood, not far from the art district where galleries, museums and art spaces are located. 7 spacious studios situated in a quiet lane above the WAA office and project space are close to the building where accommodation is provided.

– 7 studios (20-25 sq mt each) available 24 hours, Internet, shared kitchen
– Accommodation (2 bedrooms) in a flat just 5 mins from the studio
– Basic support for production and technical assistance
