In order to realize a society in which everyone can enjoy arts and culture, the Government will support efforts aimed at improving accessibility by private organizations implementing arts and culture projects. The aim is to increase the number of examples of support for viewers and participants who need support, to create opportunities for them to come into contact with art and culture, and to disseminate widely throughout society the need to improve accessibility to art and culture.

This Grant Programs will be implemented in conjunction with support such as taking courses and responding to consultations by Tokyo Support Center for the Arts and Culture ARTNOTO.
