Holding a charity auction for the Great East Japan Earthquake
In October 2011, we co-hosted a charity auction with the Agency of Cultural Affairs and the Japanese Council of Art Museums aiming to assist restoration of damaged art works and exhibition facilities caused by the disaster. We exhibited and sold the works provided free by 400 artists and generated revenue of 120 million yen for donation.
Donation to Cultural Property Rescue Program and Rokkakudo Rehabilitation Fund
We made a donation of 5 million yen to “Cultural Property Rescue Program” by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, and another 5 million yen to the reconstruction of “Izura Rokkakudo” by Tenshin Okakura that was destroyed by the tsunami (total donation of 10 million yen for the reconstruction support), respectively.
Accession to “Arts and Culture Forum”
In 2012 JADAN joined “Arts and Culture Forum”, of which affiliated organizations are associated with performing arts, music and film. The Arts and Culture Forum advocates the enhancement of cultural policies such as establishment of the Ministry of Culture and enlargement of access to the associated funding, and that our country should be a nation grounded in culture and the arts.
Alongside “Japan Artists Association, Inc.” our participation in the forum as a fine art organization will encourage contributions to promotion of the Japanese culture and the arts as well as communicating to the world, and the hand-in-hand efforts by each field are expected to create a stronger voice toward the government.
