| Description | The RePAIR Program is for self-funded artists who choose to reside and work at PARADISE AIR on their own initiative. https://www.paradiseair.info/en/opencall/artist-residency/repair-program/ This is our first fee-based residency program, and we will use the residency fees to support the ongoing operation and future development of PARADISE AIR. Through the RePAIR Program, we aim to build a foundation that will allow us to revive free residency opportunities in the future. We also assist artists with grant applications and offer opportunities for individuals and organizations to support artists staying in Japan. The RePAIR Program offers two residency options. Choose the one that best fits your schedule and the way you like to work, and we look forward to receiving your application! |
