Description

Beppu Project is a non-profit art organization based in Beppu City (Oita Prefecture, Southern Japan), known as one of the world’s greatest hot spring areas.

Founded in April 2005, Beppu Project has since implemented various activities such as the introduction and promotion of local and international arts. Incorporating the regional aspects, development of human resources, promotion of craft products and savoir-faire, BEPPU PROJECT has achieved this through holding art projects. With these projects, BEPPU PROJECT strives to develop local potential through art, and make more regional places attractive to the world.

KASHIMA 2021 Artist in Residence program

KASHIMA is a residence program that BEPPU PROJECT has held in Beppu since 2008. In Japanese, “KASHIMA” refers to the name of the place of your stay in order to heal your body and soul in a bath and spa. One of the aims of this residence program is to promote and develop creations, in connection with local community and the artists. Any genres, such as contemporary art, music, performing arts, filming, literature, handcraft, architecture, and culinary art etc. will be welcome.

In 2021, we are calling for collaboration projects that a domestic artist (Japanese nationality and residence) who stays in Beppu and a foreign artist (non-Japanese nationality and reside outside Japan) who works from his/her residing area can cooperate using online. While the continuous influence of COVID-19, it is time to challenge for expressions and creations that can be done with this circumstance.

Genres: Any genres including contemporary art, music, performing arts, filming, literature, handcraft, architecture, and culinary art etc.
