POCORART (Place of Core + Relation Art)

The nationwide open call for “POCORART” began in 2010 as a project between the Chiyoda Ward authorities and 3331 Arts Chiyoda in support of people with disabilities. The exhibition connected people to one another, to art, and to a variety of sensibilities, aiming to foster questions concerning both art and humanity. In 2014, a selection of works by 54 artists, chosen from the 2,292 artists and 4,820 pieces collected by 3331 Arts Chiyoda from members of the public nationwide since its inception in 2010, were shown at the exhibition “POCORART Declares! 2014.” From October 2014 to January 2015, these “POCORART” masterpieces toured three locations across Japan (Aomori, Akita, and Kochi), including Towada Art Center.
