<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Pacific Crossings Open Call for Artist Residency at Art Center Ongoing Tokyo
<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Deadline: Monday, November 25, 2019<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In partnership with Art Center Ongoing Tokyo, Pacific Crossings is pleased to announce an opportunity for an artist based in British Columbia to undertake a one-month residency at Art Center Ongoing in Tokyo, Japan, starting on March 2,
2020. The selected artist will be hosted by Ongoing for the month of March and will have the opportunity to present a public talk, and produce a one-week solo exhibition at the Art Centre Ongoing gallery to conclude their residency.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since 2013, Ongoing has hosted a residency program. They have welcomed overseas artists by providing accommodations and exhibition opportunities in the heart of Tokyo’s art community. Since its establishment, Ongoing has grown to be one
of the key hubs for Tokyo’s arts community. Over the years Ongoing has galvanized a diverse and vibrant network of artists.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Ongoing gallery and accommodation are both located in Kichijoji. Because of its deep culture and rich nature, many artists, writers, and various genres of creators are attracted to this area, which is located in western Toyko. Taking
a walk in a beautiful park, Inokashira-koen, 5 minutes away from Kichijoji station is always refreshing and inspiring. Shibuya and Shinjuku (heart of Tokyo) are easily accessible, as Kichijoji is only 20 minutes by train.<o:p></o:p></p>
