Japan／Team

HONEYBEE LINK is the team behind the Kikaku (Planning) Farmers Market (KFM). KFM concierges from all over Japan work together to create a place where anyone can participate in planning and creating, in order to pollinate the excitement of ideas from flower to flower and bring positive change to the community and society.

2025 project

MiR (Manager-in-Residence)

1/1

A residency program for producers, researchers, and other practitioners in the field of arts management. In the face of numerous social issues such as the widening cultural gap between rural and urban areas in the face of depopulation, and a declining birthrate combined with an aging population, arts managers who are indispensable to sustain the field will be encouraged in their careers, through programs such as “producers' sabbaticals” offering the possibility to pause and reflect, and “producers' meetings” to collaboratively develop ideas for the future.
