| Description | Tokyo Arts and Space (TOKAS), operated by a division of The Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, offers artist-in-residence programs for international creators working in various creative fields to stay, engage in creation, and conduct research activities in Tokyo. The open-call program “International Creator Residency Program” aims to invite distinguished and highly motivated creators in the field of visual art, film, design, and architecture from all over the world and offer them with opportunities to work in Tokyo. We provide financial support to allow creators to develop and present new works and ideas. *Open call for the International Creator Residency Program 2021 (Theme Projects) will not be carried out, due to the postponement of the same program of 2020 to 2021, resulting from the pandemic of COVID-19.
