EU Japan Fest and European Capital of Culture

Here you can see a list of possible partners from Japan in case you are interested in making contact. The proposed lists are not binding and are purely informative in nature, you as cultural operators can contact Japanese or Japan-based artists with your priorities, experience and network of contacts. Tripartite collaborations are also stimulated, as a third partner is attracted by an artist or organization from other European Capital of Culture capitals. The list is updated annually.

Online base for Japanese artists and partnerships: here.
