Japan Foundation: Exhibitions Abroad Support Program

Deadline: 1-Dec-21
The Japan Foundation is accepting applications for its Exhibitions Abroad Support Program to provide financial support for museums and art institutions overseas that organize exhibitions introducing Japanese art and culture to audiences overseas. In addition, this program is designed to support overseas international exhibitions such as biennials/triennials introducing Japanese artists and their works.

• Packing and shipping costs of art works (excluding insurance costs);
• Catalog production costs (including digital catalog costs; for international exhibitions, support for catalog production will be partial, based on the ratio of Japanese artists);
• Traveling costs for dispatched or invited artists, curators, and specialists (air fare, train fare, and accommodation fees; excluding costs for preliminary research and development).
• Please note that this program does not cover the production cost of art works, installation costs and artists' fees.

• Introduce Japanese art and culture, planned and executed by a museum or an art institution abroad;
• Introduce Japanese artists and their works in the context of international exhibitions held abroad, such as biennials / triennials;
• Be created through artist-in-residence programs abroad and promote the expansion of networks among artists, curators, and researchers in Japan and overseas, and have a clear concept and concrete plan for exhibitions.

• Overseas museums and art institutions
• If the exhibition travels to more than one venue, the host institution should consolidate the grant requests and only one application should be submitted for the whole project. The Japan Foundation will not accept multiple applications for one project.
