Every year since 2008, Tokyo Midtown has held the TOKYO MIDTOWN AWARD, a competition to support young artists. At the Street Museum, the six award recipients from last year’s art competition will present new works. Each artist looked deep into their own self and their interests in creating their work, offering a chance to expand your imagination and senses.
