Fukuoka Asian Art Museum (FAAM) Artist in Residence Program invites artists from across Japan and worldwide, including but not limited to Asian countries and regions.
The program provides them with opportunities to stay in Fukuoka, create and exhibit their artworks so that they can encourage each other to achieve their full potential and expand careers to the world. FAAM hopes Fukuoka citizens get a deeper understanding of contemporary art, Asian art, and different cultures through their engagement in this program. Building human and organizational networks on international levels will also be the goal for FAAM to function as a centre of interaction in Asian art.
Residency periods are the following:
1st period: mid-July – mid-October 2026 (approx. 90 days)
2nd period: October – December 2026 (approx. 80 days)
3rd period: mid-January – March 2027 (approx. 70 days)
Artists should utilize their working environment in Fukuoka for their art making and projects, to present them in public. FAAM will provide support for artmaking as well as collaborations with local professionals in the art field and universities, etc. Artists should conduct 2 workshops and 2 talk events for the people of Fukuoka, including children and general participants. Artworks or results of activities created during the residency period will be on view at the residency artist’s exhibition
