Studio 88 Artist Residency provides a space to reflect and experiment for all creative thinkers and makers. We believe in the power of integrating art into everyday life to create positive change in the world. Studio 88 is particularly interested in how art can interact with nature, people and culture in daily life, challenging ways of thinking and also providing innovative alternatives. From artists’ self-exploration to artistic collaborations, from creatively engaging with the aspirations of schoolchildren to crafting with older generations, every creative project has the potential to change lives.

Thai people generally seem to be very lovable and friendly, but especially so at Studio88 and Sak Homestay. Aom was always available for us and ready to support and help us. She is also a great and inspiring person to talk with and, with her international experience and local roots, a great cultural translator.
