Driving regional vitality through the power of art! Yamanashi Prefectural Museum of Art begins new value creation
Yamanashi Prefecture exhibits NFT art as a hometown tax return gift for the first time!
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
The first item is NFT art by Kazuki Takakura, a contemporary artist from the prefecture. A workshop on the latest VR technology will also be held. Please pay attention to the new value creation at the Yamanashi Prefectural Museum of Art.
Yamanashi Prefecture (Governor: Kotaro Nagasaki) formulated a vision in June of this year with the aim of making the Yamanashi Prefectural Museum of Art a hub for creating new value*.
*New value: “social and economic richness” in addition to the cultural richness that the prefectural museum of art has traditionally had.
As part of this new value creation, the prefecture will use content created by contemporary artists who have been involved in prefectural projects as return gifts for hometown tax payments, and will use these donations to promote culture and the arts, including museum
activities, and to artists in a wide range of fields. The funds will be used for support and development.
