While "TRANS ARTS TOKYO 2015" will again be based at the former Tokyo University of Technology site, a variety of projects will spread throughout the city, taking root within the community.
In the areas surrounding Go-ichi-hachi and Ichi-hachi streets, the ongoing "Go-ichi-hachi Creative Project" will launch in collaboration with various creators. Projects include "CREATOR’s Building," where many artists will use buildings as new stages for expression; "Art Ennichi" at the site of the former Minmei-za cinema; and a fashion exhibition by "Coconogacco," founded by fashion designer Yoshikazu Yamagata.
At the former Tokyo University of Technology site, Tokyo's largest craft beer event, "Oedo Beer Festival 2015," will be held over two weekends. Additionally, the annual Kanda Sports Festival 2015, hosted by Kanda's sports shops, and the highly popular "Urban Camp Tokyo 2015" from last year, among other events, will offer a chance to experience various styles of art.
