what we support
by Jerry is an individually owned artist residency.
You get rent-free work space and private bedroom for 7 weeks.
At the end of your program, you will exhibit your killer artwork at a pop-up gallery in Tokyo.
We are so stoked to provide an amazing opportunity and a platform to those who don't always get the spotlight.
who we are
I have met wonderful artists in many countries where I visited . I originally moved to Los Angeles from Japan to study fine art, however, I am currently taking a long hiatus from painting. Instead, I decided to run an art residency for talented artists from different parts of the world to create a global art community from Japan.
This is Rika. I am born and raised in Japan, currently based in Los Angeles. I work as a Production Designer for movies, TV shows, commercials, and sometimes as well as an Interior Designer. I Studied Film at UCLA ,and upon my graduation I started to work as an assistant to a production designer, Tom Brown. Beginning my career, I worked with Tom as his Art Director on numerous Hip Hop shows with some of the legends, from Snoop Dogg to Dr. Dre to Mary J. Blige, and working my way up the ranks to become a production designer.
