FY27 Term I Creation Grant [Single-Year Grant Program]
Business Overview
Interdisciplinary art is art that is not bound by genre and cannot be classified into categories because it crosses disciplines. While focusing on each genre, such as theater, video, music, and puppet theater, artists who engage in cross-cutting expression activities will perform at various places in Tokyo. Two Korean artists selected through curation will present their works, and young critics and curators of the next generation in Japan and South Korea will participate in the event. The contents of the program will be updated on the website as needed.

Profile
From the perspective of interdisciplinary art, it was established in 2014 in order to break the current situation in which places for presentation and audiences are fixed, to discover artists who work without depending on genre, and to create new audiences and values. The purpose of this festival is to create new value and connect people by creating an art festival that is more dynamic and in line with the modern society, and by promoting artists who express themselves across various genres, such as not being a play, not being a live music performance, and not being limited to film screenings.
