MESSAGES

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.
