With a population of 450,000 people, Kanazawa City is the heart of Hokuriku region and has rich tradition and legacy of the culture of Edo era. CAAK, Kapo, Machiya Guest House are all located in the central Kanazawa, and at walking distance from the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa and Kenroku-en. Close to Kanazawa College of Art, too. Participating artists can stay in CAAK or Machiya Guest House (which were renovated traditional Kanazawa Machiya–style houses) and create and exhibit their art works at Kapo.

●Kapo and Machiya Guest House

CAAK, Kapo, and Machiya Guest House are all spun off from projects of the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. CAAK plans and organizes lectures and art projects with the aim of transversing the boundary between art and architecture, while Kapo is a spacious gallery/ production studio complex, which was transformed from a printing factory under the initiative of artists; and and Machiya Guest House is a renovated 120 year-old traditional Kanazawa Machiya house. The artist-in-residence program started in 2010 in the collaboration among the three projects with distinct characteristics to provide unique, Kanazawa-specific support for artists.
