Description

Arts Itoya is an artist in residence program in Takeo, Saga Prefecture, Japan. Studio Kura, the company in charge of the long running residence progam in Fukuoka Prefecture, started it in 2018 after reforming an old kimono shop called Itoya.

Around the first week of the month, the organziers will take the artists on a tour around Takeo. Then, the following week they will arrange a workshop for them to experience some kind of Japanese craft (i.e. washi, bonsai or tea ceremony). On the last weekend before they leave, the artists will have their exhibitions. An opening party and artist talk is normally scheduled at 15:30 on a Saturday.
