This ten-day art festival featured art-related programs and events at a variety of venues in and around Fuchu City such as galleries, studios, cafes and restaurants, markets, and dental clinics. Its diverse offerings included exhibitions of paintings and illustrations, workshops, live performances/events, improvisational theater, installations, calligraphy, photography exhibitions, live painting, films and videos, and woodcraft, providing artists in Fuchu City with the opportunity to become better known in the local area.
The festival featured a project called “THE ART Collaboration,” in which five artists/artist groups partnered with local businesses, who provided unwanted or surplus materials for the artists to use in the creation of their works.
The festival organizers’ aim was to uncover new local appeal by using various locations throughout the city as venues, to create connections between artists, local communities, and local businesses through the medium of an art festival, and to make Fuchu a city enabling everyone to express themselves.
