Art and culture initiative led by Takada Aya, who was born in Shiogama. Collaborates with North American artists to introduce artist-run culture, and with local artists, goes out into the community, enhancing the artists' social abilities and connections, and providing opportunities for people to feel closer to art. Rather than just providing places for viewing art, the aim is to boost the presence and perceived value of art itself.
