    I’m involved with a website which is a project of an NPO working in a rural town in Tokushima called Kamiyama. They have an annual artist in residence program which they started as a way to try and revitalize the rapidly depopulating mountain town. There is a photo album on the site which features a slowly growing collection of old photos borrowed from town residents and scanned, as well as a ton of more recent photos of the art activities in the town. You might find it interesting if you like stuff like the photo exhibit mentioned in this post.
