Dear All,
The Tenjinyama guest house building could be a ghost house if the Tenjinyama Artist Residence had never started last year (a ghost story as a continuation of the real story of the building’s being closed for the past 10 years). Since the opening (including pre-opening time), every time new visitors came, the story of Tenjinyama AIR has been updated. Kids to play, mom to take a rest, students to study, visitor of the park to use the toilet. Some visitors became regulars in supporting us for maintenance of the space. In addition, if those visitors who are bored—or courageous—enough to choose being part of another’s life, they became involved in some mysterious messes (so called artworks) that resident artists make.
After the year passed, some ghosts of the building moved to other empty buildings, or some joined our fun party. Thank you all for being part of Tenjinyama AIR for the first year! If you want to make a mess again, please do not hesitate to come back!
Best regards,
Sapporo Tenjinyama Art Studio

Set to the tempo of 90bpm
Everyone shouts: “Tenjinyama”
One person raps: “Fresher now/ better now/ one year on.
The activities that are happening are younger than some
The stone and glass surround is a little bit older,
Seen a little more…
bolder/ winters / splinters / laser-jet printers, icy hinter- lands.
The trees and ground is perhaps enough to make you stop and think they been around a while…
longer than a blink / thicker than mink / deeper than yo’ kitchen sink.”
Everyone Shouts: “But the truth for true / and the truest truth / and the deeper true you feel in your bones;”
One or two people rap: “knows the spirit of the one-year old / the youth and glory / has miles left in it’s tank.”

To all the lovely people at Tenjinyama art studio,
this May (2015) I’ve spent a couple of wonderful weeks together with Klaus Erich Dietl at Tenjinyama art studio. For us it is an unforgetable time. We met a lot of new friends during our stay and we had the unique chance to some great spontaneous art and music projects together with them. We definitely want to come back and keep on working together with our Japanese friends… again and again and again 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU <3
—–Stephanie Müller / Germany
I am happy, feeling lucky and appreciate to be selected as one of the resident artist in the very first open call during the very first year of Tenjinyama Art Studio, thus got to know all these lovely friends. Tenjinyama is such a good place, having such an opportunity was my precious. I believe there must be difficulties and challenge in the beginning of everything, I hope Tenjinyama will be more success and create your very own history in the coming years, keep the Tenjinyama’s spirit, you know you are better than your mama! I will be visiting you again just because of that famous pie water! お誕生日おめでとう！

Open Call Sapporo Tenjinyama Art Studio Residence Program 2015
Guidelines for Application
Overview of Sapporo Tenjinyama Art Studio:
Sapporo Tenjinyama Art Studio, which opened in summer 2014 in the city of Sapporo contains artist-in-residence facilities. In this quiet, natural environment in the Tenjinyama green zone are 13 studio apartments, exhibition areas, and a studio where citizens can interact with each other (charged for the use). A free rest station in Tenjinyama Park is also one of the features. The atrium lounge on the first floor is a common area where anyone can drop in freely, and artists participating in the program and citizens can communicate with each other on a daily basis through various events, presentations by artists and their open-to-the-public productions. For more information, please visit the website.

About the open call to the residence program 2014:
The city of Sapporo with residents as many as 2 million living in such a cold, snowy district is a rare large city in the world. As it snows heavily in the winter of Sapporo, residents are forced to live in an environment totally different from the circumstances in summer. Fighting against difficulties such as snow removal and damage, they have built up some ways to coexist with snow. In attempts to coexist with snow, ranging from road-heating and underground passages in infrastructure and transportation to residents’ daily activities, behaviors and winter entertainments including sports and snow festivals, all sorts of creative activities to vitalize the city are implemented.
The Hiragishi/Sumikawa area nearby the center of the city of Sapporo is favorably located in terms of transportation, and what is more, there is nearby natural environment such as the Tenjinyama green zone and the vicinity of the Shojin River. In winter, however, snow lies deep so that mingling of local people is restricted.
After the opening at the end of May, Tenjinyama Art Studio, where direct communication between visiting citizens and participating artists has been promoted naturally, will see its first winter. The scenery with rich greenery at Tenjinyama will change completely. Perhaps, there may appear an ideal place for creativity only found in winter. Making the most of that environment, the regional vitalization project will be conducted through art, viewing positively the lifestyle and city life in winter.
Focusing on three key words; winter, snow and Sapporo, each artist is expected to deepen their ideas through production. Through creating the work environment in winter and workshops and presentations by artists, the project will lead to the experimental introduction of creative experience in winter in the community. We look forward to receiving applications from many artists and creators.
