Art Olympia is implemented focusing on the three concepts:
• HUB …Discover talented artists and direct them to where they might have more potential
While many artists are probably working in their own country, there may be potential for some of them to be more recognized abroad rather than in their own countries.
They act as a hub for discovering such artists and directing them to where they might have more potential.
• Excavation …Discover artists with potential to be recognized internationally
Art Olympia invites entries by the public from around the world, and invites art experts to serve on the jury from within Japan and abroad.
With a jury from various fields in the art world, they aim to discover artists who can work on a global scale.
• Practice …Creation of new art for the next generation by international artists
They ultimate goal is “to create new art for the next generation by international artists.”
