Artist-in-Residency and Writer Retreat
About Us
WilderHaven 駐野
is an artist-founded initiative dedicated to fostering creativity, collaboration, and cultural exchange in the breathtaking landscapes and ethnic communities of Southwest China. Established in 2024, we provide immersive residencies in countryside settings across Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan—regions renowned for their natural beauty and rich minority cultures.
By gathering visual artists, sculptors, architects, designers, musicians, and writers, WilderHaven thrives on its diverse voices and innovative spirit. More than just a residency, it is a platform for idea sharing, open dialogue, collaborative projects, and experimental artistic practices. By bridging contemporary artistic expression with deep-rooted cultural traditions, WiderHaven aims to cultivate an enduring creative network that transcends borders and disciplines.
