YUI – PORT is calling for applications from Japanese and international artists for their Artist-in-Residence programme in 2024 near Niigata City, Japan.
The purpose of Artist in Residence project is to host and support artists from Japan and overseas who conduct creative activities while residing at the Niigata City Centre for Creative Arts and International Youth Exchange (YUI – PORT) in Japan, a refurbished former junior high school facility.
