In 2024, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government launched an art project called "TOKYO CITY CANVAS," a new cultural project that uses temporary enclosures at construction sites as canvases to expand the landscape of art in the city.
As part of this project, this grant will support 1/2 of the cost for art projects that are implemented under the initiative of the private sector to create attractive spaces and create new urban landscapes by using temporary enclosures at construction sites in the city of Tokyo. In addition, to support the creation of artists, we will also provide support for art and design production costs. By supporting private-sector activities, we will create an environment where everyone can enjoy art in close proximity and create new attractions for cities.
