As part of its outreach initiative, the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum has conducted programs to promote the appreciation of art among people of all ages, with a special focus on children. One such program caters to elementary and junior high school students enrolled in the city of Hachioji, a major suburb community of Tokyo which TFAM serves.
Under the program, TFAM hosted 2,144 students from 28 local schools over the calendar year of 2019, up from 1,684 kids from 20 schools in 2018. The curators are volunteers, either lecturers of or students taking university-level museum education courses.
TFAM also aims to provide its collected works and the museum itself as a center of learning to kindle the imagination and excitement of creativity by holding workshops, concerts, seminars and special summer vacation events. And it remains committed to this outreach initiative in service of the Hachioji and other communities in the Tokyo area.
