YURAKUCHO ART URBANISM - YAU

《Open Creativity Moves the City》

YAU (Yurakucho Art Urbanism) is an innovation platform launched in February, 2022, with arts at its core.
Artists, workers, companies, and visitors come together on equal footing, contributing their own perspectives and capabilities to spark creative innovation within the city.
Set in the Otemachi–Marunouchi–Yurakucho area, one of Japan’s leading business districts and a key junction connecting Hibiya and Ginza, YAU aims to become a creative scene for everyone who gathers in and moves through the city.
Derived from the concept of urbanism—the practical exploration of urban life and city-planning—Art Urbanism describes a condition in which art permeates both those who create and those who use the city.
Through this approach, YAU seeks to embed artistic thinking into everyday urban experiences.
