MATSUDO “QOL” AWARD 2021 event overview

PARADISE AIR, an artist-in-residence in Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture, has continued the MATSUDO “QOL” AWARD, an open call for artists who live within 100 minutes of Matsudo Station, from last year.

The selected artists were provided with support money (daily allowance) for living during their stay and creative retreat time in the residence room. Living away from home, walking around the city, making things, writing things, developing ideas for new works… the use of the three weeks was left up to the resident artists. We hope that the three weeks spent at PARADISE AIR in Matsudo during the pandemic in the artist’s life will be an experience that will lead to a future a little further into the future.
