Costs

Residency is divided into 6 week-long groups.

In 2026 there is a participation fee of $ 2750 USD (*contingent on the current exchange rate)

Shiro Oni Studio Covers: artist support (bilingual staff members to help with anything from research to figuring out which foods are vegan at the supermarket),  a private bedroom, studio space, all building utilities, a bicycle, access to the woodshop and ceramic studio, residency arrival and departure transportation, and flyer printing expenses.

Artists Cover: Travel expenses, food costs, and workshop fees.

Artwork materials: artists are responsible for their own materials. There is a storage room of free artist materials left from previous artists.  The storage room has things like paper, fabric, ink, tape and paint.  It’s also possible to source natural materials like bamboo from the surrounding mountains, or wood from lumber mill off-cuts.
