In the organiser's words

What the official page says.

Quoted from xiaohongshu.com and checked on 1 September 2026. This is the organiser's description, reproduced as captured. It has not been through the evidence checks that produced the figures above.

The outward reach of mind magnified by the flood of information makes us forget the inward return between every breath. There in the vacuum zone naturally grows the understanding of the ultimate reality, and truth-driven actions. K&B Art Studio has created such a void, open to all artistic practices as the means to expand it, allowing the gift of presence to be seen, experienced, and appreciated. We call for artists traveling in Asia to join our inexorably explorative lifestyle at the Studio.

With cross-cultural exchanges and creative explorations as the means instead of the purpose, we look forward to breaking an opening of the above-mentioned stillness in mind, as small as it is, among the local community in Hainan and resident artists abroad. The studio is located in a local village in Hainan, just by the wetland, and 15 mins away from the coastline by scooter. Artists can approach the culture and lifestyle of local, rural villages, surfing and camping communities, and the migrant creative communities of pottery-making, weaving, silver craftsmanship, painting, woodwork, etc.

Duration

Stay for 2-8 weeks.

Accommodation

The studio offers a private room for the artist, sharing a big yard and two geese living in the yard.

Disciplines & equipment

Artists, photographers, curators, writers, and creators are welcome to apply for our residency program. There are no residency fees, and the Studio will offer free accommodation, but not food (very affordable in the village and a kitchen free to use). The resident artists are responsible to bring their creative tools or put some local materials into use. They are also encouraged to leave a little something of their creative output in residence, a poem, a sketch, a ceramic easel, or organize a workshop sharing their knowledge or the creative trip with the village kids and the migrant creative community.

The studio offers two kilns for use (one big and one small), and some essential woodwork equipment. Both founders speak English, and there will be volunteers offering assistance if needed.

Studio

The studio is a shared workspace, with a pottery-making room, two multi-function rooms, two kiln rooms, a cafeteria, and a big open, green space. Artists may have a dedicated space for his/her own creative activities, when requested.

Fees & support

There are no residency fees or financial support. But founders and volunteers can help artists purchase or find local creative materials.

Expectations

Artists are encouraged to enjoy the quiet creative vibe and connect to the local communities.They are also encouraged to leave a little something of their creative output in residence, a poem, a sketch, a ceramic easel, or organize a workshop sharing their knowledge or the creative trip with the village kids and the migrant creative communities.
