Sketching “statues” event

Events on Sep. 30 (Sun.) have been caceled.

We will hold a sketching event for drawing street performers (“statues”) dressed as outdoor sculptures. Fountain Square, located in the center of the park among the museums, will become everyone’s atelier for three days. Visitors share cultural time with diverse people while watching paintings in progress in an atmosphere like that of an open studio, participating in sketches, and receiving advice from students and alumni of Tokyo University of the Arts who will be the lecturers. UENOYES General Producer Katsuhiko HIBINO will pick up several of the paintings drawn here by children and display them at The University Art Museum, Tokyo University of the Arts in October.
