ONE Ariake Art Festival 2024
A composite art festival across six genres: art + kogei (craftsmanship), sports, nature, food, sake, and tea
ONE Ariake Art Festival is an area-based art project in the Ariake Rim area. The aim of the project is to rediscover the charms and challenges of the region and connect the rich culture of Ariake with the importance of living with abundant nature. Many of the projects are nature conservation activities in the Ariake Sea and creative activities for children and people with disabilities.
The theme is “Diversification of Local Resources.” The festival combines the unique culture of the Kankai Ariake region—the art, craftsmanship, sports, food, drinks, and tea that have been cultivated over the generations—to create new experiences, products, and values.
