TOKAS International Creators Residency Program, Japan

Applications are now open for the TOKAS International Creators Residency Program 2027, a fully funded residency program in Japan for artists and creative professionals worldwide. Organized by Tokyo Arts and Space, this prestigious program offers creators the opportunity to live and work in one of the most vibrant cultural cities in the world.

The TOKAS International Creators Residency Program invites painters, filmmakers, designers, architects, and other creative professionals to spend three months in Tokyo developing their projects. It provides an ideal environment for artistic exploration, cultural exchange, and professional growth.

This fully funded residency covers all major expenses, including round-trip airfare, accommodation, daily living expenses, and a grant for creative work. Participants will also have access to shared studio spaces, allowing them to collaborate and engage with other international artists.

A key highlight of the program is the OPEN STUDIO event, where residents can present their work to the public and gain international exposure. This platform helps artists showcase their creativity and connect with a broader audience.

The residency is offered in multiple sessions between 2027 and 2028. To be eligible, applicants must have at least five years of experience in their field and must not be enrolled as students at the time of the residency (except PhD candidates).

The TOKAS International Creators Residency Program 2027 is an excellent opportunity for creative individuals seeking international exposure, artistic development, and cultural immersion in Japan. It is more than just a residency—it is a transformative experience that allows artists to grow, connect, and share their work on a global stage.
