INSPIRATION IN GROUPS
Many of you seemed to love the idea of finding new inspiration in Barcelona with a Residency sponsored by homesession.org. What about finding inspiration as a group? I don’t mean a collaborative group necessarily…
What about that group of you out there that are fighting for the arts in your community, or a group of friends separated by life (and miles) that need a chance to reconnect…to art and each other?
Check out this Call for Submissions for those interested in an Artist Residency in Tokyo sponsored by 3331 Arts Chiyoda. Anyone can apply, but they encourage groups of 2 to 5 artists. 3331 Arts Chiyoda is a newly-launched arts and cultural center in the heart of Tokyo. Maybe their new beginning can be a part of your renewal.
CALL for SUBMISSIONS:
3331 Artist & Curator Residence TOKYO
3331 Arts Chiyoda is launching a new residency program open to artists, curators and creative practitioners internationally. With a full range of facilities including accommodation, studio and gallery, creative practitioners have the exceptional opportunity to extend their artistic engagement in the heart of Tokyo.
Not only will artists be able to pursue their own individual research and practice, but they will be connected to the extensive network of Tokyo’s art scene through the hub that is 3331. With the energy of the electronics and anime haven of Akihabara right at one’s doorstep and the traditional cultures of downtown but a stone’s throw away artists will be able to experience all aspects of this kaleidoscopic city from this convenient base.
Artists are not only able to spend time in Tokyo, but are able to create work onsite and then finally exhibit what they have developed during their stay, in the distinct setting of 3331 Arts Chiyoda. They are pleased to be able to offer these facilities to artists who can contribute to the diverse creative expressions of this cosmopolitan metropolis and engage its inhabitants in new ways.
They particularly encourage applications from galleries, museums, universities, and arts organizations. They also welcome approaches from individual artists; however, they recommend that artists consider applying in groups of 2-5. Please note that 3331 is unable to offer financial support to artists in residence in this program.
The facilities are ideal to be shared between a group of 3 artists, and can accommodate a maximum of 5 artists if so required. In order to apply for this program please download the application form from the website www.3331.jp/news/en/residency/ and send it with the relevant supporting material to info@en.3331.jp.
DEADLINE: For those wishing to use the residency facilities between November 2010-January 2011 please apply by 30th August 2010. For those wishing to use the residency facilities between February-June 2011 please apply by 19th November 2010.
