FY2024 2nd Term Grant for Artistic City
Business Overview
There are many art spaces along Gaien Nishi-dori Street (Nishi-Azabu and Jingumae), and the number is increasing. The GAIEN-NISHI ART WEEKEND aims to liven up the art scene in Tokyo by cooperating with these art spaces to arrange the opening of exhibitions on the same day and to extend the opening hours, so that visitors can go around multiple art spaces, which leads to the discovery of new art spaces and artists, and also by horizontally cooperating with local communities. Through this project, it is not a short-term project, but by connecting valuable things that originally exist in the area (= art space) and making things happen three-dimensionally with the whole city, it leads to the discovery and rediscovery of the charm of Tokyo and the city, and contributes to the appeal of Tokyo in the medium to long term.
