It has evolved or improved little by little since 2007 and 2008. We were able to hold the event with the help of the artists, Mr. Sakaguchi, Mr. Sano, Mrs. Ki, Mr. Nakajima, the staff at Venue, and many other people. thank you. Next year will be our third year as part of "Tokyo Art Weeks" and we will strive to provide even more fulfilling content. We look forward to your continued support.
08.04.22: Golden Week emergency special project! AAT marathon review
"AAT Marathon Review" Scheduled for May 5th Mon 13:00-17:00
This year marks the second time that the Art Award Tokyo (AAT) has been held, and it has garnered a great response as the core exhibition of the Marunouchi Art Weeks. However, we do not want it to be merely an exhibition showcasing the works of outstanding students; we also want to take on initiatives that will lead to the discovery of new Artist and the future of Japanese art. As part of this, we would like to develop the ability to evaluate works by those around the artists.
This time, as the closing Events of AAT, the authors gathered again with young reviewers for a four-hour "marathon review." They thoroughly and thoroughly reviewed each work.
We hope that many people will come and enjoy the exhibition and feel free to ask any questions they may have. Please come and join us.
