January 2025 Residency Application
January 2025 Residency Application
Important Dates and Deadlines
Applications are due May 25, 2024 *DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JUNE 1*
Due to the high volume of applications we will only respond to successful applications (by June 5, 2024)
Down payments ($500) are due within two weeks of being accepted to the program, and will reserve your spot.
Final payments are due no later than two weeks before your residency begins. It is important to pay all fees before your residency starts because it can be very difficult to transfer money internationally once you are in Iran.
These dates will be adhered to in order for residents to have ample time to arrange their travel and Visa details.
Residents will be chosen based on the strength of their work samples, their specific interest in Iranian culture, and their explanation for what they hope to learn or achieve on this 10 day long experience.
Seven Gardens is a residency for artists and writers who have a special interest in Iranian handicraft, cooking and culture. Established in 2018 in Kerman, Iran, the residency is aiming to connect international artists with local makers, to make connections that last beyond the length of the residency.
