sairiyoh.art In Residence program Mima – Nature

sairiyoh.art is a platform service where artists create art products using reusable materials such as secondhand items and waste, and sell them online. Artists and creators can become sellers and sell their own one-of-a-kind art pieces made from reusable materials.

The sairiyoh.art In Residence program is a program for artists interested in creating art products using reusable materials. The program aims to have artists translate their creative ideas into reused art and create art products to achieve a sustainable society.

Artists from all over the world can participate in the program. Participating artists can create art products inspired by Japanese culture, scenery, or cultures and landscapes from around the world, using reusable materials such as old furniture, clothing, and waste.

The art products created by the artists are sold on the sairiyoh.art online platform, and the revenue from the sold products is returned to the artists. Furthermore, if the artists’ works match sairiyoh.art’s sustainability concept, they may be introduced in sairiyoh.art’s advertising and other materials.

The program requires artists to create art products using reusable materials and their own ideas and techniques to achieve a sustainable society. Participating artists can increase their awareness of sustainability and contribute to realizing a sustainable society through sairiyoh.art’s concept.

    Je propose de vous accueillir dans mon chez moi encore en travaux mais habitable! L'espace à disposition est assez pour installer un endroit de travail au calme pour vos créations. Je suis créatrice également et je suis actuellement à la recherche de nouvelles rencontres artistiques, qui puissent m'inspirer dans ce nouveau chez moi qui a besoin d'être rechargé en bonnes vibrations... Cuisine en commun et sdb aussi, je demande juste à qu'on se mette d'accord pour que tout le monde se sente à l'aise et dans le confort. En France depuis 13 ans, je suis d'origine italienne et j'ai fait les beaux arts à Milan. Je crée des bijoux et je réalise des peintures...solaire et ourse, je suis à l'écoute et respectueuse des besoins de solitude ou de partage de tout en chacun 😉 Rivières, mer et nature sauvage ne sont pas loin.

    Bonjour, je m'appelle Diego et je suis originaire d'Andalousie (Espagne). Je vis en France depuis cinq ans et demi, dont les quatre derniers dans les Gorges de l'Allier. Je suis photographe d'art et de nature. Je parle couramment le français, je suis de langue maternelle espagnole et j'ai quelques notions d'anglais. Il y a deux ans, j'ai acheté une ancienne ferme de 1977 avec ses différents bâtiments. Je rénove ce qui sera ma résidence principale et, parallèlement, je crée une résidence secondaire où je prévois d'accueillir une colocation d'artistes. L'objectif de ce coloc est d'être un lieu d'échange et de développement de la carrière de chaque artiste, en créant des espaces de collaboration, de création et d'exposition de différentes créations artistiques.
