Tokyo's Art Noto: Bridging Support for Artists in Cultural Events
The Tokyo Art Consultation Center, known as 'Art Noto', provides essential support for artists and cultural operators by addressing various challenges they face. This organization runs mostly online consultation services but is expanding its reach. Starting from this year, Art Noto is set to conduct on-site consultations at five major events across Tokyo, offering face-to-face discussions to help resolve issues related to contracts, copyrights, grants, and career advancement in the arts.
These consultations are free of charge and do not require reservations, making them easily accessible for anyone seeking guidance. Attendees are encouraged to stop by and take advantage of the wealth of knowledge and expertise provided by the consultation staff, who are well-versed in the intricacies of the arts and culture sector.
