Pin Air

Located in the pleasant town called Hidaka Town, which is two-hours away from Sapporo by car, and where those beautiful horses are well-taken care of with abundance of its surrounding nature, our first experimental artist residency program will be taken place by welcoming those curious artists who are willing to share your thoughts for how we could potentially build up our unique creative hub of the artist residency in a pro-long and diverse manner from now onwards. There is a potential building site as a permanent-based art residency in a city called “Chitose City” which is only 45 minutes away from Sapporo, and where the main international airport is located, unexpectedly in the middle of nowhere as literally surrounded by forest with wild animals and birds. However, since this potential building site in Chitose City is still under the initial stage of its renovation, we are setting our residency program this year in our temporary creative lodges located in a town called Hidaka Town, which is two hours away from Sapporo by car. As the PIN AIR experimental artist residency program 2024, they will be holding an artist residency program co-sponsored with the summer camp of the North Peak International School in Niseko, in the form of the refurbished student dormitory adjacent to the former stable facilities as our experimental creative studios in Hidaka Town for this year.
