Deadline: 10 August 2018
With the initiation of “Artist In Family”, ZERODATE Art Project is inviting applications for the “Artist in Residence Program 2018” to expand as a base for international cultural exchange by directly connecting Odate City’s cultural and artistic practices with those of overseas regions.
Through its activities involving the local culture and arts, the ZERODATE Art Project has succeeded in building a network among citizens, artists, companies, groups and institutions, as well as government administration.
During the one-month stay with a local household, the artists will research the local area, create artwork, and present these results through an exhibition or event. One artist selected by a residency curator will be traveling from Edinburgh, Scotland, while the second artist will be selected from the international open call being held by the ZERODATE Art Project.
