- Events are to be held across a wide area of the prefecture, with works exhibited at locations including Aichi Arts Center, which includes the Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art, as well as the cities of Ichinomiya and Tokoname, and the Arimatsu district of Nagoya.
Performing Arts
- 14 performances of radical theater, music, dance, and other performing arts from Japan and overseas will be performed near the Aichi Prefectural Art Theater and the Aichi Arts Center.
