Announcement of international art exhibitions selected for the Term I “Artist Support Program” in FY2025

NCAR implements “Artist Support Program” with the goal of enhancing the international reputation of contemporary Japanese art scenes.
International art exhibitions, such as Biennales and Triennales held around the world, function as significant art opportunities for artists to present their artworks and raise the international reputation of Japanese contemporary art.
This program provides support funds for the organizers of the international art exhibitions held outside of Japan, with the requirement that Japanese artists must participate in the international art exhibitions.
For the Term I in FY2025, 6 international exhibitions have been selected for support under this program. Reports on the exhibitions and video interviews with participating artists will be released in due course.
