PARADISE AIR has held the LONGSTAY Program under various themes and with different application requirements. The 11th edition of the program is no different in that submission is open to all people of all nationalities working in the arts field.
The outcome of the residency can take tangible or intangible form. Applications are widely accepted not only from artists but also from curators, researchers and other practitioners in related fields. We also welcome applications not only from outside of Japan, but also those currently residing in Japan. The opencall has begun, please apply with your ideas by January 6th.

There will be no theme for this year’s Longstay Programme, instead the idea is to view the programme itself as a ship and together with the artist and the entire crew, to catch a glimpse of new horizons. Perhaps this will be found through the artist’s work, or it may be a destination reached together through the programme.
