About KIRARINA ART STAGE

The "KIRARINA ART AWARD" public exhibition, held in the same space last year, was established with the goal of creating "methods and opportunities" for artists who will lead the next era to "leave their works for the next 100 years," and to revitalize "Kichijoji" as a hub for art.

Based on this passion for art, KIRARINA ART STAGE is being launched as a new initiative aiming to be a "place where art and everyday life intersect."

"Art brings inspiration and new perspectives to our lives.

Through its power, we want to move the hearts of visitors and feel together the energy that spreads throughout the community.

KIRARINA ART STAGE aims to create a space full of creativity by utilizing Kirarina Keio Kichijoji as a new stage for expression."
