A rt I nstitute S hibukawa
Art Institute Shibukawa was established in 2007 in the Tanaka Art Program , an art prep school, as a place to specialize in learning and practicing contemporary art.
For those who aim to be artists and curators, lessons only for talking , holding solo exhibitions, planning and managing exhibitions, and presided over by professor Atsuo Fukuda, without giving lectures to cultivate not only skills but also thinking ability to cONCEPT sPACE (concept space) to overseas artists invited for the exhibition, we have participated in the class as a really special lecturer. Despite being in a small local city, we are promoting unique international activities.
Also, since 2008, Edinburgh College of Art (eca), Manchester College of Art (MMU), Dusseldorf Kunst Academy
We are promoting an exchange program in partnership with such companies.
