Discover works of 30 artists at the public space
The Art Award Tokyo Marunouchi (a.a.t.m.,) an art exhibition marking its sixth year, is designed to help identify and provide support to young artists. Held at the Marunouchi Gyoko-dori Underground Gallery, a public space where a large number of people come and go everyday, a.a.t.m. features works of 30 artists selected from amongst graduation projects at Japan’s art universities and graduate schools. Prizes such as the Grand Prize are selected by the open screening after all the works are displayed.
