Fukuoka Asian Art Museum Artist in Residence

At the time of its opening in 1999 as a museum dedicated to Asian modern and contemporary art, Fukuoka Asian Art Museum has not only provided open access to its public collections starting since the 1970s but also invited artists or researchers from Asian countries and regions and conducted various art exchange programs to newly function as an “interactive art museum.” Fukuoka Asian Art Museum (hereinafter referred to as FAAM) invites local and international artists, including but not limited to those from Asian regions, for a certain period, to provide them with opportunities to create and present their artworks in Fukuoka, so that they encourage and inspire each other to achieve their full potential globally from Fukuoka city. Through conducting various artistic exchange programs with local citizens, it hopes to nurture a deeper understanding of Asian contemporary art and cultures and to foster a diverse range of local cultures. Furthermore, FAAM aims to become an interactive platform for Asian art, through efforts such as building an international human and organizational network.
