Tokyo Festival Farm School x Yurakucho Art Urbanism YAU "First Line"

"First Line" is a youth program aimed at people in their teens and twenties who are interested in arts management, mainly performing arts, which began in 2022. In 2024, it will be held in collaboration with "Farm School," an educational outreach initiative within the "Tokyo Festival 2024," an urban comprehensive arts festival centered on the Ikebukuro area, and "Yurakucho Art Urbanism YAU," a pilot program to create an innovative driving force for the city together with art.

The program offers participants the opportunity to interact with a wide range of artists and art managers, and to see creative sites and works, giving them the chance to come into contact with the various professionals who gather at the Tokyo Festival and YAU. By experiencing the program with fellow participants during the irreplaceable period of their teens and twenties, participants will have the opportunity to embark on their own unique first career.
