採択概況［PDF］
[Long-term grants]
◆ Number of applications (number of applications accepted): 16 (3 applications)
* Of these, 1 application was made for "Creative Environment Support Expenses"
There were 16 applications, with a particularly large number of applications for human resource development projects. Among these projects, a project to improve the information environment for disseminating performance information and criticism, a project to develop human resources for performing arts management, and a project to investigate the film screening environment in Tokyo, especially in Shinjuku Ward, and to verify the system and make policy proposals were adopted. All of these businesses plan specific projects based on a long-term perspective and engage in practical solutions based on new ideas. This category covers initiatives that lead to the improvement of the artistic creative environment from a broad perspective of the field as a whole, rather than solving the internal problems of a specific organization. We look forward to future ambitious projects that are expected to spread across the entire field by making concrete efforts to improve the artistic creative environment based on clear agendas.
◆ Number of applications (number of applications accepted): 14 (2)
We received 14 applications and 2 were accepted. In the field of music, a project to organize and publish online the materials of concerts that have been held continuously since the foundation of the applicant organization has been adopted. In the field of art and video, a project to archive the activities of media artists through the production of video interviews with contemporary artists and related persons has been adopted. All of these projects were selected as projects that can be expected to spread across the entire field, as they accurately identify issues and address them using methods unique to the applicant. On the other hand, applications that did not meet the objectives of Category III or projects with unclear issues or efforts to resolve them were not selected.
