採択概況［PDF］
◆ Number of applications (number of applications accepted): 23 (2)
We received 23 applications for "Category II [long-term grant] artistic creative activities," whose open application period was changed to July this year. At the activity stage, more than 50% of applications came from organizations in the early stages of establishing a base for their activities. As a result of the screening, one project was selected in the field of theater and one in the field of dance. Both projects are ambitious projects that involve co-creation with artists overseas and international co-production over multiple years. On the other hand, some projects were not adopted, such as those with a lack of concrete plans or projects with a strong repetition of past projects.
