Tokyo University of the Arts and Mitsubishi Estate signed a comprehensive partnership agreement to return the power of art to society in the Otemachi, Marunouchi, and Yurakucho areas of Tokyo, where various companies are concentrated.We are also planning to open a course that utilizes the power of art to create innovation.
According to Tokyo University of the Arts, the content of the initiative includes creative innovation through culture and art, community development through new value creation, art communication to create a symbiotic society, education and research on culture and art, and personnel exchange.
Since 2007, both parties have held the "Geidai Arts in Marunouchi" by young promising artists, and have continued to disseminate cultural and artistic activities from Marunouchi. In order to return the power of art to society, we will work on new projects such as opening courses that utilize the power of art to create innovation.
At first glance, art and corporate activities seem to be unrelated, but by collaborating with industry on the creativity, diversity, and awareness that art and art production activities bring, it will help solve increasingly complex social issues and create innovation. It is considered.Katsuhiko Hibino, president of Tokyo University of the Arts, commented, "We would like to add the power of art to Mitsubishi Estate's knowledge of urban development, and contribute to the resolution of social issues and the future of the earth."
