Holipura Arts & Residency

The Arts & Residency Hub is envisioned as a dynamic cultural platform that brings together artists, local communities, and the natural landscape to celebrate creativity, heritage, and collaboration. Rooted in the values of sustainability and community engagement, the Hub aims to foster a thriving ecosystem of expression and cultural revival in rural India.

​

• Year-Round Artist Residencies with Community Workshops

​

We will offer an immersive, year-round residency program for artists, writers, and creatives from across disciplines. Residents live and work within the community, drawing inspiration from the region’s landscape, traditions, and people. These residencies are complemented by participatory workshops where local youth and artisans are invited to co-create, learn, and engage in hands-on creative exploration—building skills, stories, and shared experiences.

​

• Pop-Up Galleries, Performances & Heritage Restoration

​

To bridge local and global audiences, the Hub will host curated pop-up exhibitions, open studios, and site-specific performances in both natural and restored heritage spaces. These events create visibility for emerging and established artists while activating forgotten or underused cultural sites. Heritage restoration initiatives aim to preserve traditional architecture and oral histories, transforming them into living, functional cultural spaces.

​

• Annual / Biennale / Triennale

​

In addition to ongoing programs, the Hub will host flagship festivals—annual, biennial, or triennial—celebrations that serve as a convergence point for artists, scholars, and visitors. These festivals will showcase the best of rural contemporary art, interdisciplinary collaboration, and sustainability-focused design, positioning the region as a unique cultural destination.

​

Together, these elements create a vibrant rural arts ecosystem—nurturing creativity, preserving heritage, and fostering deep community connections through the transformative power of the arts.
