Fukuoka Asian Art Museum Residency Programme 2025
Fukuoka Asian Art Museum (FAAM) Artist in Residence Programme invites applications from artists from across Japan and worldwide, including but not limited to Asian countries and regions, for diverse residency periods in 2025 and 2026.
The programme 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 programme. Building human and organisational networks on international levels will also be the goal for FAAM to function as a centre of interaction in Asian art.

- 2nd period: October – December 2025 (approx. 80 days)
