Arts Itoya is an artist residency located in Takeo, Saga Prefecture, Japan, established in 2018 after renovating an old kimono shop. The program, managed by Studio Kura, offers residencies for up to four artists at a time, with stays ranging from one to three months. Residents are provided with individual rooms in a shared traditional Japanese house, along with a partitioned studio space that also serves as an exhibition area. The residency emphasizes a balance between work and rejuvenation, with daily access to nearby hot springs (onsen) and electric bicycles for local transportation. Takeo, known for its rich cultural heritage, including ancient hot springs and its proximity to famous porcelain towns like Arita and Imari, provides a tranquil yet inspiring environment for artists. The residency fee is 100,000 JPY for a four-week stay, with deposits required upon acceptance. Artists are responsible for their own daily expenses, materials, and travel, and are encouraged to seek funding independently.
