Studio Kura 絵画教室

The studio is in a very rural area in Fukuoka Prefecture, yet it is not too far to go to the city when needed. Artists work surrounded by rice fields, mountains and the sea. Artists may also feel free to have fresh eggs from our chickens every day.

We have a thriving creative community in the studio, with many local people of all ages coming every other day to learn or work on their projects. They are usually very open and supportive to guest artists.

We are an art company with three purposes: organizing exhibitions, events and residencies; teaching art to people of all ages; and producing art ourselves. The company is run by founder Hirofumi Matsuzaki.
