Tokyo Geidai ARTFES is an exhibition that transcends the boundaries between different
fields of expression. The co-creation among highly specialized works makes ARTFES special.
Artists will surely have encounters that propel them to challenge the possibilities of
artistic expression without self-imposed limitations. Immediately embrace that challenge
when you feel inspired to try something new after seeing the other works in the
exhibition. Use your current medium as the basis for discovering new media of expression
with the belief that you have lots more to discover about yourself, without assumptions
about your area of expertise. Taking that action will expand the possibilities of artistic
expression as a whole.
Online spaces remove the walls between domains. These unique places where music and fine
arts exist side by side connect new power to reality. Tokyo Geidai ARTFES.
This exhibition aided young artists in distress during the COVID-19 pandemic and probed
the future of art, and has now moved to the next stage of expression in collaboration with
Mizuho Financial Group. We sincerely thank you for your support and cooperation.
Art is a rare entity that can address social issues through means other than conflict and
negotiation. Art has the mission of transforming this world while connecting people's
ordinary and extraordinary lives. "Opening" and "closing." Both are essential to art.
Artists continue to challenge themselves, diving deep within while striving to connect
with contemporary society.
