Microresidence Meeting 2019 Kyoto in NISHI-JIN・西陣
INTRODUCTION:
With the aim of introducing a range of domestic and international Microresidence programs and providing opportunities for information exchange and networking, the Microresidence Meeting will hold a two-day meeting on February 9 and 10 at Koshoji Temple in Kyoto. The event is cosponsored by the Artist-Run Alliance.
Taking place in a historical temple in Kyoto, the meeting will consist of presentations and a workshop on Day 1 in which domestic and international artists will have the opportunity to consult with Microresidence directors from Japan and overseas with the aim of fostering new networks and expanding artists’ horizons.

Res Artis Meeting Kyoto, Japan – Creative Encounters: Reimagining Residencies
6 – 8 February 2019 at Kyoto Art Center, Kyoto, Japan
Res Artis Meeting 2019, Creative Encounters: Reimagining Residencies to be hosted by Kyoto City and Kyoto Art Center in cooperation with the Agency of Cultural Affairs from 6 – 8 February 2019.
This 3 day meeting will address the evolution of artists residency models and rapid expansion of the field. The meeting will pose questions about the progression of the field using examples in Japan and internationally. How can we evaluate these new models? How can artists residencies remain socially engaged and respond to artists’ needs? How are these innovative new models funded?
These key themes of the meeting will be reflected in Kyoto, a unique city where traditional and contemporary arts co-exist.
