Japan -- The Akiyoshidai International Art Village

     

The Akiyoshidai International Art Village (AIAV)

As a base for expressive and creative activities of both international and domestic artists, Akiyoshidai International Art Village (AIAV) was constructed in August 1998 in Shuho Town. It is situated next to the Akiyoshidai National Park, which beautiful limestone landscape was formed over three hundred million years ago.

The art village is fully equipped for various artistic activities such as music, art, dance and drama. We focus on the Artists In Residence Program and expand cooperative programs with international and domestic organizations. We also hope to hold regional programs and promote a beneficial exchange between resident artists and local citizens.

By gathering artists from all over the world and developing their creative activities, cultural information from this region will spread internationally.

The Akiyoshidai International Art Village (AIAV):
- Supports artists involved in a wide range of artistic fields such as music, art, dance, and theater, by providing a space for their creation and presentation.
