This three-pronged support initiative for young people who find it difficult to adapt to school or society comprises the hands-on programs “Theater/art appreciation experience,” “Creative experience,” and “Artists’ studio visit.” These programs give young people the opportunity to encounter 1) art, 2) artists, and 3) adults other than parents/guardians or teachers. Participants were recruited through a partner NPO.

Flatart
A group launched in July 2021 by volunteer “art communicators” who worked on the “Tobira Project”co-organized by the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum and Tokyo University of the Arts, enabling them to continue their activities after completing their term in that project. As a group creating art-focused encounters between “people and people” and “people and art,” Flatart connects art and young people in their late teens to early 20s who find it difficult to adapt to school and society, engaging in activities and projects that prevent young people from becoming isolated.
