Tokyo Art Navigation is a website that was established with the aim of bringing art closer to the citizens of Tokyo by introducing the current culture and art scene in Tokyo. There are many exhibitions and concerts being held in the art museums and music halls of Tokyo. The Tokyo Art Navigation site introduces information on these activities in real time.
In addition, in an effort to support the activities of artists, the site also provides information as to activity spaces, available grants-in-aid, as well as contests. It is expected that the site will be fully utilized as a venue from which artists engaged in creative activities will be able to distribute their work and activity information.
Moreover, the site provides a "Digital Museum" where valuable works and resources owned by the EDO-TOKYO-MUSEUM, the EDO-TOKYO OPEN AIR ARCHITECTUAL MUSEUM, the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography and the MUSEUM of CONTEMPORARY ART TOKYO are introduced. The site intends to provide opportunities for people in Tokyo to gain a deeper understanding of extensive works, resources and common assets through this Digital Museum.
The main contents of this site can be browsed in English, Chinese, or Korean here.
- Artist Pick Up: Focuses on artists drawing a lot of attention, such as those registered under “Artist File”
- Art Specialists: Interviews with specialists doing a wide variety of jobs related to the arts
- Tokyo Art Scene: Features art projects and artistic movements created by students and emerging artists, and art spots
(This site was designated as one of the 2006 Priority Projects of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and is operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation for History and Culture through a subsidy from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.)
