AIR Program information
| Objective | The population of the Okubo settlement in and around Komoro City, where the Travel & Art Okubo Studio is located, is decreasing every year. Most of the residents are elderly. We hope that people will enter the village from outside, create art, cultivate art, including the inhabitants, and that it will be a great force for the region so that people can enjoy and discover. I think that art and communication will be a great force for revitalizing the region. I also want to create places for exchanges, such as exhibitions and workshops, to be interested in art and to develop a sense of what art is. |
