Artist in Residence

Overview

The Aichi University of the Arts invites artists from around Japan and overseas to its campus as Artists in Residence to collaborate on educational, performance and creative activities. By inviting a variety of working artists (both individuals and groups), we aim to encourage exchanges with our faculty and students that will result in fresh educational and research perspectives and invigorate our campus.

Commonly found in universities, museums and orchestras in the West, such residence programs provide the invited artists with a place to explore their creative practice in new contexts. The artists in residence give workshops, and present or recite new ideas and works that differ significantly from the university's regular curriculum. A major feature of our university's Artist-in-Residence Program is shared spaces for daily activities, which encourages close exchange among artists, faculty and students.

Created and run by the Center for Promoting Fine Arts and Music, the Artist-in-Residence Program contributes greatly to the university's medium-term plan core objectives of international exchange, strengthening of partnerships with other educational organizations, and enhancement of cross-disciplinary education at the university.
