Art Residency Opportunities

ASHIMA 2014 BEPPU ARTIST IN RESIDENCE On the theme “FANTASTIC, MAGIC, WONDERFUL BEPPU!”,  we are inviting artists to create large-scale outdoor artworks on the walls of Beppu.  Beppu, located on Kyushu Island in Japan, is a curious city and possesses many facets. Beppu is the second largest thermal city in the world. The city once knew a glamorous time and knew great fame with crowed shopping streets, animated life in bars, restaurants, hundreds of movie theaters, and a large flux of visitors disembarking from the ferry. Nowadays, the city has changed but still offers vibrant memories. Coming to Beppu is like taking part to a treasure hunt to find hidden gems and encounter numerous mysteries. So, following this invocation-like theme: “FANTASTIC, MAGIC, WONDERFUL BEPPU!”, artists will lift the veil on new artworks created in this unique place and enriching Beppu’s majestic treasures.
