Fukuoka Asian Art Museum (FAAM) Artist in Residence Programme invites artists from across Japan and worldwide, including but not limited to Asian countries and regions.
The programme provides them with opportunities to stay in Fukuoka, create and exhibit their artworks so that they can encourage each other to achieve their full potential and expand careers to the world. FAAM hopes Fukuoka citizens get a deeper understanding of contemporary art, Asian art, and different cultures through their engagement in this programme. Building human and organisational networks on international levels will also be the goal for FAAM to function as a centre of interaction in Asian art.
Residency periods are the following:
- 1st period: July – September 2025 (approx. 85 days)
- 2nd period: October – December 2025 (approx. 80 days)
- 3rd period: January – March 2026 (approx. 60 days)
Artists should utilise their working environment in Fukuoka for their art making and projects, to present them in public. FAAM will provide support for art-making as well as collaborations with local professionals in the art field and universities, etc. Artists should conduct 2 workshops and 2 talk events for the people of Fukuoka, including children and general participants. Artworks or results of activities created during the residency period will be on view at the residency artist’s exhibition or open studio.
Groups are accepted but only one person will receive financial support by FAAM, if applicants are in a group.
The programme provides expenses for international and domestic travel, accommodation, living expenses (including lunch and local transportation fees), expenses for art making and exhibition (to a maximum of 500,000 JPY), expenses for art exchange programmes, publicity costs for the residency artist’s exhibition, art insurance during the residency artist’s exhibition.
