FY 2025 Program Lineup
Driving Cross-sectional Initiatives
We aim to realize a society where everyone can enjoy arts and culture through the implementation of cutting-edge initiatives that leverage digital technology and take a holistic perspective of Arts Council Tokyo (Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation for History and Culture).
TOKYO Smart Culture Project
This project will create an environment where anyone can enjoy arts and culture anytime, anywhere through an integrated push towards the development of an information and communication infrastructure at metropolitan cultural facilities, the usage of their collections through means such as database expansion, the planning and development of programs leveraging digital technology, the creation of new ways to experience and enjoy arts and culture utilizing cutting-edge technology, and more.
Civic Creative Base Tokyo [CCBT]
Civic Creative Base Tokyo [CCBT] is a hub where the public can explore its creative imagination in society through art and digital technology. It is equipped with space that includes labs and studios with the aim of making it a driving force for creating innovation from Tokyo through various programs such as workshops.
Creative Well-being Tokyo
This project is aimed at building an environment where everyone can access and enjoy arts and culture through metropolitan cultural facilities and cultural projects. As well as expanding and improving the environment allowing diverse people including the elderly, people with disabilities, infants, and people with roots overseas to participate in cultural projects and create together, we will work on program validation, program model development, and onsite practice and research. In partnership with metropolitan cultural facilities, cultural projects, NPOs (engaging with social issues in the community), etc., we will promote and disseminate the initiatives needed for arts and culture going forward.
Support Programs
Through a variety of programs, including grants, consultation desks, and lectures, we support the creative activities of artists and work to foster the leaders of art and culture.
Grants
In order to support creative activities that enhance the appeal of Tokyo’s arts and culture and communicate them to the world, artistic activities that promote regional culture and traditional performing arts, and artistic activities that tackle various social and urban issues, we offer grant programs tailored to each purpose.

We provide multifaceted support enabling artists and practitioners to continue with and develop their activities. This includes offering a comprehensive support-oriented information base such as consultation services and learning initiatives, as well as providing workspaces, and opportunities for creation and presentation.
