Temple Bar Gallery + Studios (TBG+S), in partnership with Tokyo Arts and Space (TOKAS), invites applications from Irish artists and artists based in Ireland for a new residency exchange between Ireland and Japan in 2026.
TBG+S/TOKAS International Residency Exchange will support an artist to spend three-months in residence at TOKAS, 1 September — 30 November, 2026. The awarded artist will have access to on-site private accommodation (single room) and shared studio access at TOKAS Residency, Sumida City, Tokyo. A stipend of €8,000 is awarded to cover the artist’s living and working expenses, and travel to and from Tokyo. The residency includes opportunities to build professional networks, engage with a small community of Japanese and international resident artists, visit museums, galleries and other cultural organisations in a major city, present new work and ideas, and offers time to research and make work in a new context. This is an opportunity to live and work in Tokyo, Japan, and meet local and international artists and curators.
During the residency, artists will be invited to participate in public engagement and professional presentations culminating in a three-day Open Studio event where they will share the process of their activity during the residency.
A Japanese artist will have the opportunity to live in Dublin and work from a studio at TBG+S, through an open call organised by TOKAS.
Temple Bar Gallery + Studios announces the event programme for Dublin Art Book Fair (DABF), 2025 including Guest Curator Dr. Selina Guinness' programme of talks, DABF's wider event programme and a new Publishing Talks Series.
