OUTLINE OF TOKYO CULTURE CREATION PROJECT■ Tokyo Culture Creation Project
Tokyo Culture Creation Project is a project that the Tokyo Metropolitan Government
and the Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation for History and Culture have been executing
since 2008 in collaboration with various arts and cultural organizations and art NPOs.
The Project’s objectives are to create and promote arts and culture that are unique toTokyo, to develop children’s rich sensibilities through arts and culture, and to create
various local cultural focal points in Tokyo. This year marks the third year of the Project.
The Project’s activities include organization of events and festivals in the fields oftheater, music, traditional performing arts, and fine art, among others; facilitation ofcollaborative art programs between residents of Tokyo and artists; nurture oftorchbearers and supporters of culture who help make arts an integral part of the city ofTokyo; and operation of programs to provide children with the opportunity to experiencearts and culture.
Utilizing the city’s diverse and strong cultural base as a metropolis, we aim to establish
Tokyo’s cultural presence in the world by communicating the city’s attractiveness and to
make Tokyo an international cultural hub.
■ Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s cultural policy and Tokyo Culture Creation Project
From traditional performing arts to theater, music, fine art, design, media art, andliterature, Tokyo is a city where new arts and culture are created every day and wheretraditional Japanese culture such as ukiyo-e and kabuki, have been nurtured.
To further stimulate the creation and development of these cultural resources and to
make them widely available to the public, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG)’s
cultural policy comprises the following three foci: “offering support for creative activities
of artists”, “encouraging cultural creations from Tokyo”, and “operating attractivecultural facilities”. The Tokyo Culture Creation Project was launched in 2008
particularly to encourage cultural creations from Tokyo.
The Project is also part of the TMG’s “The 2010 Action Program for the 10-Year Plan”,
drawn up in January 2010 based on Tokyo’s urban strategy “Tokyo’s Big Change: The
10-Year Plan” (2006).

■ A diverse range of programs and projects
The Tokyo Culture Creation Project is based upon three core objectives; the“Festival/Art event programs”, which aim to create and publicize arts and culture thatare unique to Tokyo,; “Kids’ programs” for developing children’s rich sensibilities througharts and culture; and the “Tokyo Artpoint Project” designed to develop local cultural focal
points in Tokyo.
For the year 2010–2011, the third year of the project, we have 12 Festival/Art event
programs, 5 Kids’ programs, and 13 Artpoint projects, a total of 30 programs, as of June
2010. These programs and projects are carried out in some 110 locations in the city ofTokyo, including its islands.
