🌊 Set along the quiet edge of Sagami Bay in coastal Japan, Hayama Artist Residency ( Hayama Artist Residency ) offers artists a month of living and working in a coastal town where ocean light, slow mornings, and daily rhythms shape the creative process. Just outside Tokyo, Hayama feels both grounded and open ~ a place to listen, observe, and make work in conversation with land and culture.
Currently open for applications, this four-week residency welcomes artists working across all mediums. The program offers time, space, and support to reflect, research, and create ~ with accommodation in Hayama, return airfare, and a living stipend included.
Designed for artists drawn to place-based practice and gentle immersion, Hayama invites a slowing down, a chance to recalibrate, connect, and let the environment quietly lead the work.
🌿 Apply by September 30, 2026 for the June 1–30, 2027 residency - open internationally. More + applications at hayamaresidency.com.
