Artist-in-residence SAIKONEON was established in April 2019, aiming to provide a space for research, creation and exchange of knowledge for various artists and designers of various boundaries. SAIKONEON is located about two hours away from Tokyo under the magnificent natural environment of Mount Fuji, with a facility on the shores of Lake Saiko in Yamanashi Prefecture. 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.”

The 2027 Hyogu Residency is a four-week program focusing on hyogu, the Japanese art of paper mounting and framing. Through the complete process of kakejiku hanging scroll mounting, participants will develop an understanding of hyogu and gain the practical skills required for kakejiku mounting. Led by an experienced hyogu mounter from a century-old mounting studio in Osaka, participants will complete mounting their own kakejiku while learning about the materials, traditional formats, techniques, and aesthetic principles of hyogu. The program brings together hyogu and cultural heritage conservation professionals, artists, and craftspeople through lectures, workshops, and curated field trips. Participants will visit studios and cultural sites, experience Nara’s traditions of handmade washi paper and sumi ink, and gain broader insight into the craftsmanship connected to hyogu. Beyond technical skills, the residency invites participants to consider the relationship between mounting and artwork, and how hyogu may inform their future artworks, personal projects, or appreciation of art. HIGHLIGHTS: • Build an understanding of Japanese hyogu through its history, philosophy, traditional formats, and aesthetic principles. • Practice the traditional mounting process of kakejiku hanging scrolls with direct guidance from a professional hyogu mounter - possible with personal artworks. • Take home a set of artisan-grade hyogu mounting tools for your long-term practice. • Full English-Japanese interpretation support throughout all lessons and an exclusive English Hyogu Handbook. • Live in a tranquil 18th-century registered national cultural property or the renovated annex building in the heart of historic Nara.

Beginning in Fall 2026, Ox-Bow School of Art & Artists’ Residency invites artists of all disciplines and at all stages of their careers to apply for a self-directed residency during Ox-Bow’s quieter seasons. The program offers artists a contemplative environment in which to focus on their creative practices. Residents may use their time on Ox-Bow’s historic campus to develop new work, conduct research, explore creative ideas, and work independently away from the distractions of everyday life. Each resident is provided with a dedicated, simple studio space. The residency is particularly suitable for artists working in drawing, painting, writing, and other media that do not require specialized equipment. Ox-Bow’s specialty studios are not open during the Slow Season Residency. The program is therefore best suited to artists who can work independently and whose projects do not depend on specialized ceramics, glass, metals, printmaking, or other studio facilities.

Since 2016, Lize Puppet Art Colony has operated its Artist-in-Residence Program to provide artists with a well-equipped creative environment and a platform for interaction and exchange. The program encourages artists to develop their work during the residency, whether by taking puppetry as the core of their practice or by exploring interdisciplinary and innovative artistic forms. Located on the Lanyang Plain near the Dongshan River, sandy coastline, and the nationally recognized 52-Jia Wetland, Lize offers an environment surrounded by nature and a community with a strong local character. Artists are encouraged to immerse themselves in the local environment, observe, connect, and develop site-responsive creative practices. Through research, experimentation, and collaboration, the program also encourages artists to reflect on the relationships between land, nature, and people, as well as issues of environmental sustainability. The theme for 2027 is "COME PLAY, +1." Lize Puppet Art Colony invites artists from Taiwan and around the world to arrive with an idea, a question, or a work still in development, and to begin an open-ended creative process through encounters with different people, objects, materials, spaces, sounds, conversations, and artistic practices. The program does not expect artists to arrive with a fully completed answer. Instead, it encourages them to leave room for the unknown and allow their work to continue evolving through experimentation, exchange, transformation, and unexpected encounters. Artists may begin with familiar techniques and experiences, an unfinished idea, an object, or simply a question, and explore new possibilities throughout the residency.
