More About Residency Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts
Tokyo University of the Arts, abbreviated as “Geidai,” is Japan’s highest institution of art education and the country’s only national university of the arts. Its headquarters is located in Ueno Park, Tokyo. It was established in 1949 through the merger of the Tokyo Fine Arts School and the Tokyo Music School. The university focuses on fine arts, music, film and new media, and global arts practice. It is well known for its extremely competitive admissions process and is often regarded as the “University of Tokyo of the arts,” as well as for having cultivated many leading artists.

Starting in 2025, our university and Tokyo University of the Arts in Japan launched the “TEA+ Residency Exchange Program,” with the aim of deepening interaction between the artistic communities of both sides. The program provides artists, curators, and researchers among the alumni of both institutions with opportunities to undertake residencies and exchanges in Japan. At the same time, it seeks to break through geographic limitations, allowing participants to learn and grow in a transnational and cross-cultural environment, and to realize diverse residency opportunities for international research presentations, exhibitions, performances, and academic forums.
