「 SAIKONEON 」Artist in residence Application 2026
Since its founding, SAIKONEON has welcomed artists and designers from around the world working across a wide spectrum of media — including painting, photography, film, visual art, writer, dance performance, and installation.
Participants are selected by the residency’s curatorial team based not only on professional achievements, but also on their ability to produce compelling and imaginative work — artists whose practice sparks curiosity through originality and personality beyond career status.
Through their stay, we aim to provide artists with opportunities to deepen their creative inquiry, research, and artistic growth, encouraging new discoveries within their practice.
At SAIKONEON, we aspire to be a place known for this shared spirit —
“something interesting always happens when you become part of this residency.”
