I often post international artist residency opportunities and get lots of email in return that basically says, “I wish.” And, believe me, I understand the frustration of needing the inspiration and time and space of a residency, but not being able to afford the luxury of a month in Spain or Chile. Well, what if I told you that you could get the full foreign tour AFTER you do the work? Stop and smell the sushi, folks.

Check out this International Art Competition and Exhibition from Sakuraba Gallery in Japan. The artists that are selected to exhibit will be brought to Japan from their home country to attend the opening reception. Airfare, cost of hotel stay for up to ten days, and a small group tour of Sendai are included. ENTER TODAY!
