WeSA Residency 2026 — Second Half Open Call

WeSA invites artists from around the world to apply for a 10-day residency at the WeSA Residency, nestled among the deep forests of Seonheul village on Jeju Island, South Korea.

This open call is for the second half of 2026, with residency periods available between August and December 2026. Exact dates will be arranged in consultation with selected artists, offering some flexibility around your schedule.

The residency is open to artists of all disciplines and career stages — both domestic and international applicants are welcome. Solo artists and collaborative teams may apply.

What's provided

• A dedicated workspace
• Accommodation for the duration of your stay
• A residency stipend of approximately KRW 2,000,000, which includes airfare support

What's expected

• A final presentation in late December 2026, where participants share their process and outcomes. International artists may participate online if in-person attendance is not possible.

Artists who go on to develop their residency ideas into a fully realised artwork may also be eligible for additional support through a separate review process.

To apply, submit a Google Form with the following

• An artist statement or introduction
• At least one representative work (link to YouTube, Vimeo, personal website, or similar — minimum 1 minute in length)
• A teaser, proposal, or project plan for the work you intend to develop during the residency

The application deadline is 30 June 2026 at 18:00 KST.

Set within the slow rhythms of Seonheul, this residency offers a genuine space for reflection, experimentation, and discovering new directions in your practice.
