Artspace Irisa Iwazaki shouten
About us
We at Artspace Irizaki Shoten are operating as an alternative space, repurposing a former tatami material wholesaler's building, constructed in 1961.
The first floor features a permanent tatami-matted raised area, which is open as a space for various activities such as exhibitions and events organized by local residents. The entire building can also be used as an artist-in-residence facility, providing a space where domestic and international artists can stay and carry out their work from creation to presentation.
As the entire building is available for rent, it can accommodate up to four people, including your partner or family. It offers an environment perfect for immersing yourself in your creative work, and open studio sessions are also possible.
Furthermore, it is also available to the general public as a facility where they can stay while appreciating art works related to Numazu.
We are exploring new possibilities in art, with artist support at our core. We hope that this will be a place where visitors can connect with the community through artworks and events, and share new values.
Floor guide
You can use the entire facility for a month-long stay, creating a space for your creative activities and presentations. You can utilize the kitchen, free space, and Japanese-style room for creating artwork, exhibiting pieces, and holding social events. Families and couples are especially welcome.
The gallery on the first floor is available for use as a space for events, exhibitions, workshops, talk events, and more. We can flexibly accommodate rentals ranging from short periods to several days. We also regularly host exhibitions organized by the facility.
This is a whole-house rental plan that includes access to the gallery, kitchen, free space, and Japanese-style room. It can be used as a base for sightseeing or staying in the area, as well as for private events or training camps.
