I am a sculptor/installation artist doing public art projects and gallery/museum exhibitions. I am interested in doing an artist residency in Japan and will be seeking grant funding. In my work I use hand papermaking techniques and some fiber art techniques, so Japan would be a great place for me to study and work. For my grant applications I need a letter from a Japanese artist or art institution such as a museum or art center inviting me to come there to work. The grant, if I receive it, will pay for all of my expenses while in Japan. If you would be interested in this or know of someone in Japan who would be interested in helping out, please reply directly to me off list at <[log in to unmask]>. I will be happy to give more information and tell more about myself and my work. Thank you for your help. Jane
