[Open Calls for Applications] 2026 Overseas Study Visit Program for Arts Management Professionals 3rd Round | London West End

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation for History and Culture Arts Council Tokyo are implementing the "Overseas Study Visit Program for Arts Management Professionals" project to dispatch young art management personnel who will play a role in connecting artists and society to overseas festivals and other events for a short period of time.

The destinations of the 3rd dispatch in FY 2026 were Taiwan, England and Germany. In the UK, we will be dispatched to the West End of London, which is known as one of the world's top theatrical districts along with Broadway in New York. With more than 40 theatres, the area hosts a diverse range of productions, from historical and long-running productions to the latest and greatest, attracting theatre-goers and audiences from around the world. This is a rare opportunity to experience the forefront of the UK performing arts and entertainment industry. We look forward to receiving applications from young art managers who aspire to expand their business internationally.
