DESIGNART is a project launched in 2017 with the aspiration to transmit and industrialize creativity from Tokyo. This innovative initiative brings together art and design (architecture, interior design, products, fashion, technology, etc.) from around the world in Tokyo, one of the world’s leading cities for mixed culture, and uses a variety of stores, galleries, and other venues to present a variety of art and design.

Now in its 8th year, DESIGNERT TOKYO has grown into an international event that will be held in Omotesando/Gaienmae, Harajuku, Shibuya, Roppongi/Hiroo, Ginza, and other areas. In addition, a project aiming to legislate “1% for Art,” a movement to support art by society as a whole, which has been implemented in the U.S., Europe, and other countries, was launched the year before last.
