TBG+S/TOKAS International Residency Exchange

TBG+S/TOKAS International Residency Exchange is a new opportunity offering a three-month residency to an artist who is developing a professional practice and includes accommodation, shared artist studio, and a stipend to cover the artist’s living and working expenses, and travel to and from Tokyo.

TOKAS is an experimental arts centre in Tokyo City committed to the creation and promotion of contemporary artistic expression. The dedicated TOKAS Residency building in Sumida, Tokyo, provides artists with private on-site single accommodation and access to a shared studio space.

This opportunity will afford an artist the chance to build professional networks, engage with a small community of Japanese and international resident artists, present work and ideas, while offering time to research and make work in a new context. The artist will have the chance to visit museums, galleries and other cultural organisations in a major city. 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.
