Scholarship of the Villa Kamogawa

The Villa Kamogawa scholarship offers artists and cultural practitioners from Germany the opportunity to live and create in Kyoto, western Japan, for three months.

The three-month stay in Kyoto offers the scholars an insight into an unfamiliar everyday life and a new urban and social environment. Visits, discussions and working contacts with local artists provide new perspectives, methods and materials. These can be gradually integrated into their own artistic work or serve as inspiration for new productions.
