Open Residence
3331 Arts Chiyoda is dedicated to creating a space where people of all backgrounds and interests are able to come together in a creative environment, and as part of this mission we are proud to be able to offer a unique residency program open to artists, curators and creative practitioners internationally. This includes not only the visual arts but also practitioners in design, architecture, dance and music etc. With a full range of facilities including accommodation, studio and gallery, creative practitioners have the exceptional opportunity to extend their artistic engagement in the heart of Tokyo. Not only will artists be able to pursue their own individual research and practice, but they will be connected to the extensive network of Tokyo's art scene through the hub that is 3331. With the energy of the electronics and anime haven of Akihabara right at one's doorstep and the traditional cultures of downtown but a stone's throw away artists will be able to experience all aspects of this kaleidoscopic city from this convenient base. Artists are not only able to spend time in Tokyo, but are able to create work onsite and then finally exhibit what they have developed during their stay, in the distinct setting of 3331 Arts Chiyoda. We are pleased to be able to offer these facilities to artists who can contribute to the diverse creative expressions of this cosmopolitan metropolis and engage its inhabitants in new ways.

Coordinator
3331 also provides enthusiastic support towards the resident artists. Many of the staff at 3331 are artists/creative practitioners themselves and can therefore relate well to the visiting artist and provide various support.
The coordinator is able to support the artist in all aspects of the residency helping them to settle into their new environment, introduce them to the local area and wider Tokyo, provide information required for daily life, as well of course the arts world. The coordinator is able to introduce the artist to other artists, curators and creative practitioners based in Tokyo, and enable them to effectively build a network which may lead to new forms of future cooperation. The coordinator is of course able to help with all requirements for the artist's research, production and exhibition.
