Kosudo ART Project 2026 OPEN CALL
About This Opportunity
The Kosudo Art Project is an art project centered on an artist-in-residence program, which began with the Water and Land Art Festival held in 2012. To date, more than 30 artists and creators selected through open calls have stayed in traditional townhouses in the Kosudo area, conducting research on the region, creating artwork through the residency program, and presenting their work to the local community. This year, we are again seeking artists and creators who would like to stay in the Kosudo area, working on artwork creation and research for future projects. Anyone interested is welcome to apply. This project offers two participation options. One is the "Results Presentation Option," where participants complete their research and present their findings during this year's project period. The other is the "Research Option," where participants conduct regional research in preparation for a future results presentation. We are currently accepting applications from artists who wish to participate in either option.
