\r\n This art village is fully equipped for various artistic activities such as music, art, dance and drama. We focus on the Artists In Residence Program and expand cooperative programs with international and domestic organizations. We also hope to hold regional programs and promote a beneficial exchange between resident artists and local citizens.
\r\nBy gathering artists from all over the world and developing their creative activities, cultural information from this region will spread internationally.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n

Art space released from the noise of everyday life<\/p>\r\n

\r\n Akiyoshidai International Art Village (AIAV), designed by the architect Arata Isozaki, was founded in 1998 with the aim of providing a platform for artists in residence as well as for a variety of art forms and cultural activities. AIAV\u2019s main hall has a capacity of 300 and its residence hall can house 100, and the village also features a restaurant, seminar room, studios, gallery and caf\u00e9.
\r\nAIAV is located far away from the noise of everyday city life and is surrounded by natural resources. Isozaki himself referred to it as an \u201carchipelago\u201d, and it consists of many different facilities. The term \u2018village\u2019 suggests that AIAV is not a single giant building but rather a collective of small neighboring buildings reminiscent of a traditional Japanese village. Unlike its natural surroundings, which forms are continuously changing, the square formed architecture is rigorously composed and this particular juxtaposition makes the whole scape of AIAV picturesque.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
