The National Center for Art Research, Japan implements its Artist Support Program with the goal of enhancing the international reputation of the Japanese contemporary art. NCAR promotes the international activities of Japanese artists and provides support for their participation in international art exhibitions, including the “Artist Support Program”, and inviting directors of international art exhibitions to conduct research on Japanese artists, as well as the production and dissemination of interview videos featuring Japanese artists who participate in international art exhibitions.

Organizers of international and widely recognized art exhibitions held outside Japan, in which Japanese artists participate can apply. The exhibition period must begin after June 1, 2025 and end by May 31, 2026. 

This program offers full or partial support funds for organizers of international art exhibitions, such as biennales and triennales that are held outside Japan, with the condition that Japanese artists must participate in their exhibitions. The maximum amount of support per artist is 3.5 million Japanese yen. If multiple Japanese artists participate in the same international art exhibition, the maximum amount of support is capped at 7 million Japanese yen per exhibition.
