TAB News | TABlog | Tokyo Art Beat

TAB will be presented in a TV program for the first time ever today. Sorry for this last minute announcement, but please check it out.

I’ve returned to New York and what I miss (almost) most about Tokyo is TAB.

As of this month, some of TAB’s most popular events will find their way to the pages of The Japan Times (printed edition) every couple weeks in a similar shape to our online TAB Badge.

2005 was a good year for Tokyo Art Beat with a great party celebrating our first year anniversary.

After months of preparation, we are so excited to announce that the first collection of TAB T-shirts is now on sale.

If you look at the bottom of the Home page, as part of the recent redesign, there is now a list of the art & design festivals happening in Tokyo.

We created a TAB community on Mixi this past May and already have close to 100 members.

Since its launch 8 months ago, the popularity of the MyTAB features has been steadily picking up.

On the 8th of October, the Tokyo Art Beat Team invites you to join in for the celebration of tokyoartbeat.com’s first anniversary. A celebration for the Japanese and international crowd of art-goers and creatives mixing in Tokyo.

Some months ago, TAB put flyers in a few design stores in NYC.

Last week, we were interviewed by Uleshka, the happy Editor in Chief of the deliciously bouncy PingMag, the Tokyo-based magazine about “Design and Making Things”.

Since mid May, we have started implementing on the website a series of features that are designed to make it easier to use and more community-oriented.

It’s late notice but Tokyo Art Beat got a small mention in the May 2005 issue of Studio Voice, a Japanese culture magazine which you can find in bigger book stores in Japan.

TAB is about Art and Design in Tokyo. But we provide this information not only for the people of Tokyo, but also for people all over the world.

It has already been 4 months since we launched, and we have passed the bar of 1000 events published on this site.

A couple of bits of news from the past week and a half.

This past week, following our quiet launch, we have received some warm welcoming messages and a few posts around the web. Thank you to all who showed interest.

The city has just become more exciting!
