At Balik Pulau, Penang, Malaysia.

The art in ABN AMRO-Malihom Artist in Residence Program (“AiR” Program) is intended to bring new inspiration, perception and understanding to the artists by providing uninterrupted time for work, deliberation, and collegial interaction with the environment and the communities within. We invite visual artists to explore the natural world in varicolored ways.

Residencies are awarded without prejudice, at no cost, to national and international artists in the disciplines of visual arts. Those selected are offered a preparatory allowance, monthly stipend, living and studio space for up to six months with an organized exhibition hosted by AMB AMRO Bank Berhad, Malihom Sdn Bhd and Wawasan Open University at the end of the Program to showcase the Artists’ works.

We seek applications from professional visual artists with national and/or international distinction, to create artwork and/or installation that can augment medium to large-scale thematically-based exhibitions.
