DESIGNART is a project which was launched in 2017 with the aim of revitalizing the creative industry from Tokyo. It is an innovative project where art and design (architectural, interior, product, fashion, technology, etc.) are gathered together from all over the world to make various presentations in different places such as shops and galleries in one of the world’s best mixed culture city, Tokyo.

Last year, an exhibition was held to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the establishment of Japan-Swedish diplomatic relations. This year, international contents will be showcased such as featuring Israel and Helsinki, where the creative scenes have attracted attention in recent years.

In addition, as the new initiative from this year, another/new project will also be launched. This project aims to legalize the “1% for Art” movement that supports art in the society as a whole will be implemented in the United States, Europe, and other countries.
