At the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, we have been supporting young musicians to get them engaged in various activities in diverse places as professional artists. This seminar provides a beginner’s guide and useful tips carefully chosen for general working people as the first step for an artist to build a career.
About Tokyo Networking Initiative
The Tokyo Networking Initiative is a unique project of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan to connect young artists with personnel in the cultural field in cooperation with other cultural facilities in Tokyo.
The project provides: support for outreach events by cultural institutions eager to start such activities, events for networking with the facilities experienced in supporting young artists, presentation opportunities for related projects, training for young artists, and concerts to introduce them. Through these programs, we aim to revitalize the local communities all over Tokyo with music.
