Studio HeadSpace will bring two artists to Japan annually, each for a one month residency in the Studio. This short residency will be packed with opportunities to experience Japanese culture on many levels. Along with exhibiting in both the Studio and other venues, the residency artists will be able to tap into the rich underground arts and music scene of Kansai through our established contacts, collaborate with local Japanese artists and get involved with our music and club night events.

Jamie and Lee share a passion for creativity and cross cultural understanding. Their shared interest inspired them to found this new initiative, Studio HeadSpace, as a forum for people of many backgrounds to integrate creatively together. The Studio is designed as an artist’s live / work space, perfect for short term residencies and exhibitions. Situated above an intimate bar in Nara, the studio is in a lively, friendly environment with constant opportunity for cultural exchange. After years of working to establish themselves In Japanese society, Jamie and Lee are now in a position to open such doors for talented artists through this exciting new high energy residency programme.

We accept applications for all creative genres and nationalities. If you are interested in participating, please get in contact.
