| Description | ARCUS Project provides opportunities for emerging artists in the field of contemporary art to cultivate their artistic creativity and vision since 1994. We offer 90 days full-funded residency program from September 7th to December 5th. Located around an hour from Tokyo, a residency at ARCUS allows participants in the program to come into contact with the contemporary art scene in Japan. Through the support the program offers from its dedicated team of coordinators and regular tutorials with a curator, artists can search for and explore approaches in their practices and undertake new challenges in their artistic expression. The program particularly emphasizes research-based practices and presents the initial results of these processes at open studios. It welcomes ideas for artworks and projects that develop out of encounters with people, the land, and culture and aspires to form critical spaces that are open and international. Number of Artists: 1 artist/group (concurrently with one Japanese artist/group) Application Deadline: May 12, 2023 (23:59:59 UTC+9).
