This year, we have classified residencies focused primarily on artistic activities (research, production of artworks, and presentation of results) under a “Creator framework.” In addition, we have added a new “Mediator framework” to encourage participation from a broad range of creatives, such as researchers and curators, whose activities are less focused on the production and presentation of artworks. The deadline is April 10 (Fri), 2026 17:00 JST (UTC +9:00).
