International Artist Residency in Hayama, Japan
Our June 2025 Application Is Now Closed.
Our 2024 Artists In Residence
The mission of Hayama Artist Residency
is to introduce visual artists from around the world to Japanese culture and offer them an opportunity to have their first gallery exhibition in Japan.
A 4-Week Residency in a Small, Coastal Japanese Town.
Hayama is a town in Kanagawa Prefecture, on central Honshū, Japan. It is located at the northern end of Miura Peninsula, facing Sagami Bay on the Pacific Ocean.
An Important Balance of Career Building
and Self-Care.
A key element of the Hayama Artist Residency is a group exhibition during your stay to highlight your work and that of the other artist-in-residence. Your application will be reviewed by our director and Selection Committee - a cohort of international curators and arts professionals.

“Since 2012, my family has made annual trips to Hayama, Japan. It’s a tranquil and transformative place with a rich history. Lately, the world has felt bleak and pessimistic. The Hayama Artist Residency is about awakenings and opening new pathways. I want to give artists an exciting experience to look forward to, as well as the opportunity to broaden their perspective. I believe artists deserve the time and space necessary to recalibrate, think big and see the world with fresh eyes.”
-Dexter Wimberly, Founder and Director
