THE HOUSE OF ICONS
A Creative Residency for the Next Generation of Confident Young Icons
Bangkok, Thailand
23–28 September 2026
Welcome to The House of Icons
Not every young star needs to be loud to shine.
The House of Icons is an international creative residency designed for children and teenagers who are ready to discover confidence, creativity, self-expression, and presence through meaningful real-world experiences.
Rather than focusing on competition, the residency encourages participants to learn, create, connect, and grow together in a supportive international environment.
We believe confidence should never mean becoming a “small adult.”
Instead, we celebrate individuality, curiosity, kindness, creativity, and age-appropriate self-expression.
Every participant is encouraged to become more comfortable with who they are—not someone else.
