3331 Open Residence - Call for Applications

The "Open Residence" of 3331 Arts Chiyoda is a program for artists and creative practitioners from all over the globe. 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. 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. The unique feature of this residence is that it provides a space for artists to stay in the heart of Tokyo, research their creative projects, develop this into new work and then to finally present it while connecting to the extensive network of Tokyo's art scene through the hub that is 3331.
 
Each day, 365 days a year, 3331 is filled with creative energy, events, exhibitions, workshops and projects, guaranteeing inspiring experiences on a daily basis. By taking 3331 as their base resident artists have the opportunity to engage with a myriad of artistic expressions and diverse communities, entering into a unique network which extends from this art centre.
 
Please note this is a self supporting program in which artists must pay for the costs of the residence facilities.
