A platform for creative exchange

Art should be accessible

Artaway connects artists with hosts who have inspiring spaces to share. Whether you're a muralist looking for a wall, a writer seeking solitude, or a host wanting to bring creativity into your space — we make it simple to find each other and arrange exchanges, residencies, and paid opportunities.

Too many creative opportunities are hidden behind expensive applications, closed networks, or word of mouth. We believe access to inspiring spaces and creative collaboration should be open to everyone — not just those with the right connections.

Painter and performance artist searching for residencies all over the world

After studying Econometrics and Liberal Arts & Sciences in the Netherlands, I worked as a strategy consultant in the financial sector. Immersed in systems of abstraction, I lost touch with my body - until I began painting 12 years ago, which became a means of (re)discovery. This journey, alongside my transition in sexuality, shaped my artistic practice around transformation, embodiment, and truth. I am now fully focusing on my career as a painter and performance artist. My work aims to reconnect worlds that are often divided - art and business, body and mind, spirituality and reason - seeking authenticity amid constructed realities.

I am a multidisciplinary visual artist specializing in tattoo art, drawing, painting, and fashion design. My work is inspired by mythology, nature, and human emotion, combining technical precision with expressive storytelling. Through tattooing, I transform original concepts into meaningful, lasting artworks on the human body. My background in fine art and design allows me to approach each project with a strong sense of composition, detail, and creativity. I am passionate about collaborating with artists from different cultures, exploring new artistic approaches, and continuously developing my practice through international opportunities and residencies.

I am a Digital and VFX Artist based in Munich with many years of experience in the advertising industry. My work focuses on the intersection of technology, visual design, and creative experimentation. Since 1999, I have been part of the art collective Goat.solutions. Together, we have been creating “goat art” for over 25 years—somewhere between conceptual art, digital aesthetics, and a touch of playful absurdity. Whether in commercial productions or personal projects, I am interested in the space where art, design, and visual effects meet—always aiming to create images that leave a lasting impression.

Itzel Aguilar is a multidisciplinary visual artist and muralist whose practice explores migration, memory, identity, and healing through mixed media painting and installation. Drawing from her Chicana and Indigenous Mexican heritage, her work reflects the emotional and cultural landscapes of displacement, resilience, and belonging. Her work often weaves together layered imagery, symbolism, and personal narrative to examine intergenerational trauma and processes of self-reclamation. Through series-based projects such as Nunca Fue Tu Culpa, she engages themes of healing, cultural memory, and the body as an archive of experience. Aguilar’s practice extends beyond the canvas into installation and material exploration, incorporating found objects and textile influences to create immersive vis

What people are saying

From artists and hosts who've connected through Artaway

"In four months I did five art exchanges across Brazil, Spain, Portugal, the UK and Morocco — earth pigment workshops, murals, watercolor residencies. Each time I received everything in return: accommodation, food, workspace, materials. I'd do it all again with this platform bringing more organization and clarity to the stay."

"The spaces we create in shape the work we make — every residency I've done has opened unexpected doors. Artaway gets that. It's a simple, human way to connect artists with the places and people that inspire them."
