Using towns as their domain, art projects get close to people’s lives, and present questions through art. Artpoint Meeting events bring together people with an interest in art projects to explore the relationship between society and art, and craft a new “language” for it. The theme for this third event is “Devising art projects in towns”.
The AKITEN project tackles the issue of vacant premises in Hachioji. TERATOTERA sews the seeds of powerful art in areas along the JR Chuo rail line. Art Access Adachi: Downtown Senju – Connecting through Sound Art is a project generating a new festival scene in Adachi-ku. This meeting welcomes as its guests three leaders from these projects whose activities are urban-based.
Contemplate the future for towns and art with the people who devise the projects, and take on the challenges in a city whose appearance changes with each area.
*This event will be conducted in Japanese.

Tokyo Artpoint Project is an initiative which creates myriad “art points” by implementing art projects in partnership with NPOs fulfilling key roles in their local communities. Designed to fit seamlessly into the community’s daily life, the art projects connect areas, people and activities. Our aim is to create and communicate Tokyo’s diverse appeal, while cultivating the NPOs which lead the projects and laying the foundations for these activities.
