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.
What effects does “culture” have on our daily lives? Yumi Takeda comes from Lifestyle Design Center, a cultural facility aiming to present social issues in an approachable way, and re-introduce awareness of them into daily life. As an artist, researcher and author, Wataru Asada works on cultural activities that are closely connected to people’s daily lives. We exchange thoughts and ideas with these two guests, who have both developed unique art-related projects and businesses.

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.
