About IAH

International artist habitat

International Artist Habitat (IAH) is a global, borderless community dedicated to uniting artists, producers, and creatives from around the world. We provide meaningful opportunities for international artistic collaboration through a network of affordable, sustainable recording studios, communal living quarters, and live music performances.


By immersing creatives in new environments and cultures, we empower each other to develop, grow and share our art on a global scale.
