3331 Arts Chiyoda has recently launched a new residency program open to artists, curators and creative practitioners internationally. This includes not only the visual arts but also practitioners in design, architecture, dance and music etc. 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. We are pleased to be able to offer these facilities to artists who can contribute to the diverse creative expressions of this cosmopolitan metropolis and engage its inhabitants in new ways.
The residency includes accommodation and studio space and also has a gallery, event space and coordinator available as an additional option. We are accepting submissions and enquiries all year round but have a deadline set for 19th November for applicants wishing to stay between February/June 2011. We also have availability between November2010/January2011 and eagerly invite artists to contact us as soon as possible if they are interested in this opportunity.
*Please note that this is a self-supporting residency meaning that the artist must be able to cover the cost of residence facilities through their own sources of funding.
