Programs

A. Farm is an artist residency program based in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), offering funded, self-funded, and exchange-based opportunities to artists from Vietnam and abroad. Committed to nurturing the growth of contemporary art in Vietnam, A. Farm values experimental creativity, fosters international exchange, and provides sustained, forward-looking engagement with emerging artists.

Established in 2018, the residency offers flexible models, tailored mentorship, and community-focused programming. Residents live at Amanaki Hotel Thảo Điền and work next door in a traditional wooden house nestled under a mango tree, where they share studios and space for gathering and dialogue. Through exhibitions, open studios, artist presentations, film screenings, sound performances, and other public events, A. Farm offers a platform for artists to develop their practices, engage local audiences, and build lasting networks.

In 2024 & 2025, A.Farm will have hosted over 30 artists.
