This online presentation introduces Tokyo Arts and Space (TOKAS), a Tokyo-based arts center dedicated to supporting the creation and international exchange of contemporary art. In addition to operating exhibition facilities, TOKAS has been running an artist-in-residence program since 2006, hosting both international and local artists working in fields such as art, design, architecture, and curatorial practice.

Presented live from Japan, this talk will offer an overview of TOKAS’s residency structure, application process, and artistic philosophy, providing Chicago artists and audiences with valuable insight into one of Asia’s leading residency programs.
