Open Call! KASHIMA 2014 ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM (Deadline: July 29, 2014)

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.

Open Call for Artists (Winter 2025-26) Last Ship Art Residency @Khajuraho

  Artist in residence: The artist studios of Last Ship are situated opposite the UNESCO World Heritage temples of Khajuraho.

Little known prehistoric and ancient historic sites in this region tell parts of a story more than 10,000 years old, of the Mughals, the Chandelas, going back to the Guptas, the Kushans, the Shungas and the Indo-Greeks all the way to prehistoric cave-dwellers, revealing secrets of the birth of the philosophies of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism and their common Tantric spiritual traditions. The artists of the residency are invited to have their own experience of this heritage, like the sadhus, aghoris, and mystics who make solitary pilgrimages through this region, called the most powerful tantric region in the world, in search of enlightenment.
