The Kamiyama Artist in Residence Committee has updated application guidelines and procedures for KAIR 2005. If you are looking for a fully equipped program, then the Kamiyama Artist in Residence is NOT it. If you are wanting a program that will provide you with ample funds, then the Kamiyama Artist in Residence is also NOT it. However, if you would like to produce work surrounded by the warm hearted people and natural beauty of one of Japans remaining mountain villages - in other words, if you are looking for a human oriented program - then the Kamiyama Artist in Residence is just the thing for you.

The Kamiyama Artist in Residence (KAIR) Program is an independent project organized by volunteers who share the desire to develop art and culture in Kamiyama and was established in 1999 to invite and provide artists with the unique opportunity to concentrate on their work in a supportive, communal environment.
Creating Kamiyama International Cultural Village is the main purpose behind the KAIR Project. The hope is that the artists will produce works full of originality, influenced by the experience of spending time amidst the timeless nature of Kamiyama, deep in the Japanese countryside, and inspiration from interacting with the friendly local people. Through the works created by the artists as they come into contact with the tangible and intangible Gods Mountain (the meaning of Kamiyama), the organization hopes to be able to discover what impact encounters with the unknown have upon the artists and the community itself.
