Youkobo Art Space manages an Artist-In-Residence Program (AIR) which provides accommodation and studio space to domestic and foreign artists for a given period of time, and a non-profit gallery for the presentation of new work in exhibitions, while also promoting community activities through art and culture. As a ‘studio (‘kobo’) for ‘you’ (‘you’ in Youkobo meaning ‘play’ in Japanese), Youkobo aims to create a space which gives many people the opportunity to experience and become more familiar with art and culture by supporting the autonomous activities of artists. To date, 150 overseas artists from 20 countries have been welcomed to Youkobo, and exhibitions of over 100 Japan-based artists have been held in what has become a place for rich cultural exchange. It is our hope that ever more people will become familiar with our activities as we innovate our programs in the future.
