伊东屋艺术

Arts Itoya is an artist in residence program in Takeo, Saga Prefecture, Japan. Studio Kura, the company in charge of the long running residence program in Fukuoka Prefecture, started it in 2018 after reforming an old kimono shop called Itoya. The program provides artists with residential facilities and bicycles during their staying period. Accommodation consists of one traditional Japanese rural house, which can be shared by up to four artists. Each artist is provided a private single room. Common room, bathroom, toilet, and kitchen facilities are shared with other residence artists, and there is internet Wi-Fi connection in the house. One partitioned studio space is offered to the artists as working space as well as exhibition space. There are enough restaurants and stores for daily needs at walking distance.
