Hayama Artist Residency

Hayama Artist Residency is an international artist residency program based in Hayama, a small coastal town in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Its mission is to introduce visual artists from around the world to Japanese culture and offer them the opportunity to have their first gallery exhibition in Japan. The four-week residency emphasizes both career development and self-care, culminating in a group exhibition that highlights the work of each cohort of artists-in-residence. Applications are reviewed by the organization's director and a Selection Committee of international curators and arts professionals.
