Art Beat Family Expanding!

Today, Tokyo Art Beat’s non-profit organisation Gadago has entered into an agreement with the Flanders Center, a non-profit foundation based in Osaka that will launch Kansai Art Beat in April 2007.

The Flanders Center, a Japanese cultural foundation supported by the Flanders government in Belgium, has been active in the Kansai area for the past 30 years promoting European visual and performing artists. Over that time, it has developed an impressive knowledge of the cultural landscape of the area and an extensive network of connections, making it the perfect partner to found a sister site to TAB.

We are looking forward to seeing Kansai Art Beat (should we call it “KAB”?!) launch next spring to provide our friends in the Kansai area with the best art & design events and news coverage possible!
