Arts Maebashi Symposium -3 days Symposium about Art and Local Communities-
2014.02.14 - 2014.02.16
【Past Event】
In recent years, there are more and more endeavors to relate local communities to art. Is art a veritable panacea for regional development as expected in these cases? Does art really bring more tourists into local communicates and liven them up?
This symposium invites panelists from home and abroad and will consist of case presentation, talk session, round table conference over the course of three days. We hope this will be an opportunity for those who work to relate community and art and those who surround them to learn from each other to produce new ideas.
