ABOUT
Art Week Tokyo is an annual showcase of the creativity and diversity of contemporary art in Tokyo. The citywide initiative activates more than 50 of the Japanese capital’s leading art institutions and galleries through five days of coordinated programming and special platforms. The free AWT Bus service links all venues, making one of the world’s most dynamic art scenes more accessible than ever before.
ORGANIZERS
Art Week Tokyo is organized by Japan Contemporary Art Platform in collaboration with Art Basel, with support from Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs. Art Week Tokyo’s infrastructural development initiative, the Art Week Tokyo Mobile Project, is co-organized by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Art Week Tokyo Mobile Project Organizing Committee.
