RePAIR Program – [2] Flexible Residency (Self-Guided Stay) Deadline: 31 Dec 2026 Country: Japan The RePAIR Program is for self-funded artists who choose to reside and work at PARADISE AIR on their own initiative. This is our first fee-based residency program, and we will use the residency fees to support the ongoing operation and future development of PARADISE AIR. Until May 2026, PARADISE AIR offered residency opportunities free of charge. As announced earlier, we have suspended those programs. Through the RePAIR Program, we aim to build a foundation that will allow us to revive free residency opportunities in the future. As part of this initiative, we assist artists with grant applications and offer opportunities for individuals and organizations to support artists staying in Japan.The name “RePAIR” refers to repairing and rebuilding the foundation of PARADISE AIR, and also reflects our hope that new pairings and connections will emerge between artists, supporters, and residency experiences. We are committed to cultivating an environment where artists can continue to travel, research, and create across borders.
