About
The Tokyo Arts and Culture Appreciation Support Grant, offered by Arts Council Tokyo, aims to create a city where everyone can share the感動 (kandō - deep emotion/inspiration) that art and culture bring. This grant supports initiatives focused on improving accessibility for audiences and participants. It is open to organizations with headquarters located in Japan. Eligible artistic fields are broad, including music, theatre, dance, fine arts, photography, media arts (video, film, manga, anime, games, etc.), traditional performing arts, entertainment, lifestyle culture (tea ceremony, flower arrangement, calligraphy, etc.), and interdisciplinary art activities. The grant provides up to 1,500,000 JPY for accessibility support costs, within the scope of eligible expenses. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis from April 22, 2026, to March 31, 2027, and will close once the total allocated budget is reached. The grant period is from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027.
