Message from Mitsubishi Estate
Mitsubishi Estate has established Marunouchi as the world's most interactive city with a well-balanced economy, society, environment, and culture. (Alternating current) Aiming to become a vibrant city, we are promoting urban development, especially in terms of culture, through art and music events such as Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, Tokyo, which opened in 2010, and the ATM.
Up until now, we have supported the AATM, which is the only contemporary art award for students, as a special sponsor, but we are also looking to provide young Artist with a place to flourish in Marunouchi. The Mitsubishi Estate Award was newly established in 2017.
We would like to continue to provide opportunities for young talents to spread their wings from Marunouchi to the world.
