ELIGIBILITY: 3331 Arts Chiyoda is launching a fairly 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 creative expressions of this metropolis and engage its inhabitants in new ways.

ENTRY FEE: No fee to enter; however there is a fee to participate.

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.

DEADLINE: December 30, 2011. They currently have availability for May, June, October, November and December 2012.
