Researcher Noémie Soula has been selected as one of four artists-in-residence at ARCUS Studio in Ibaraki prefecture in Japan. She was chosen following a careful screening process of over 30 applications. ARCUS Research is a self-directed residency program for artists, curators, researchers, university educators, and writers.
Noémie will begin her one month residency on 11th July. The ARCUS Project is an art and culture project promoting “regional development through the arts”. It is organized by Ibaraki Prefecture Government and based in Moriya City, Japan.
The Artist-in-residence program provides opportunities for emerging artists in the field of contemporary art to cultivate their artistic creativity and vision. Located around an hour from Tokyo, a residency at ARCUS Studio allows participants in the program to come into contact with the contemporary art scene in Japan as well as devote themselves to their creative endeavors in a calm environment while interacting with the local community.
