Using supplementary funds from the Agency for Cultural Affairs’ FY2023 budget, the Japan Creator Support Fund was established within the Japan Arts Council to implement initiatives aimed at nurturing creators and artists and enhancing the value of cultural institutions.
Leveraging this fund, the Support Programs for Creator Development & Cultural Facilities Function Enhancement provides flexible, multi-year support to foster the growth and development of the next generation of creators and artists, while strengthening the functions of cultural institutions that serve as platforms for their work and international outreach.
