2013 is almost ending.
In 2013, 16 artists stayed at Studio Kura and took part in the Studio Kura Residence Program.
They are all fantastic and energetic, and they shared their energy with us.
Many things happened through 2013.
I am so thankful to all neighbors, Studio Kura staff, Studio Kura students and Itoshima Arts Farm staff.
In 2014, we would like to provide even better information and services.
I appreciate your continuous support.
