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.

``Art Award Tokyo (AAT)'' will be held for the second time this year, and this time, as the core exhibition of Marunouchi Art Weeks, it has received a lot of attention, but it is not an exhibition that simply shows the works of outstanding students. , we would like to carry out initiatives that will enable us to discover new Artist and become a system that will lead to the ``future of Japanese art.'' As part of this, we would like to foster the ``ability to evaluate works'' that surrounds artists.
As the ending Events for AAT, the authors who have gathered together again and young reviewers will conduct a 4-hour "marathon review." Each work is carefully and thoroughly reviewed.
We would like as many people as possible to freely view the exhibition and feel free to ask any questions they may have. Please join us.
