Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to the residency space, and what are the transportation options?
You can reach our residency space by bike from the ring road in about 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can take a taxi or book a ride through Pathao.
Will I have access to an individual studio or specialized equipment (e.g., wood, metal, ceramics)?
Currently, we have limited studio space. If needed, we can check with our partners for additional availability. Studio space is subject to availability.
Do I have access to a library or documentation center?
We don’t have a library on-site, but we can connect you with several libraries in the Kathmandu Valley and arrange for a volunteer to guide you. Please note that volunteers are compensated, and your contribution would be appreciated.
Do I have access to audio-visual equipment such as projectors, scanners, computers, and speakers?
We do have a set up for presentations that would be carried out using projector. Every other alternative form of presentation should be carried out by the artist herself/himself. The artists may use these equipment on an occasional basis to complement their work in the studio. Artists who wish to make intensive and continuous use must bring their own computer/laptop.
Do you source other technical resources in the city?
Please email us your specific requirements, and we will let you know if we can accommodate them.
Can I prepare my meals?
Yes, you can use the shared kitchen to prepare your meals.
Could you pick me/us up from Kathmandu airport?
Yes, we can arrange that for an additional cost, based on booking and availability.
