We educate the next generation of cultural leaders

For nearly 140 years, Tokyo University of the Arts (Geidai) has nurtured artists such as musicians, designers, architects, filmmakers, conservators, and educators who shape Japan's cultural future in various disciplines.

We preserve cultural heritage for future generations

As Japan's leading arts institution, Geidai plays a vital role in safeguarding traditional arts, crafts, music, and cultural treasures that might otherwise be lost.

We expand access to artistic opportunity

Many talented students face financial barriers to pursuing artistic careers. Philanthropic support enables gifted young artists to develop their potential regardless of economic circumstances.

We connect tradition and innovation

Geidai serves as a bridge between centuries-old cultural traditions and contemporary artistic practice, creating new forms of expression that enrich society.

Art fosters creativity, empathy, dialogue, and cultural understanding. By investing in artists, donors invest in a more vibrant, thoughtful, and connected world.

By supporting Geidai, you help preserve cultural heritage, empower emerging artists, and ensure that creativity continues to enrich society for generations to come.

American Friends Fund of Geidai

The Tokyo University of the Arts (Geidai) started Geidai NY Project in 2025 to promote cultural exchange and advance art and business innovation, while we became an anchor member of NEW INC, the cultural incubator of the New Museum, New York's leading contemporary art center. With NEW INC, Geidai aims to strengthen Japan's cultural presence in the U.S., supports the global careers of Japanese artists, and fosters cross-cultural collaboration with New York's creative industries. Thanks to the generosity of Mizuho Bank, Geidai has presented the Geidai Art Festival for five years, creating opportunities for emerging artists to share their artworks. In 2026, we are taking an exciting next step by bringing the Geidai Art Festival to New York, which is one of the projects of the Geidai NY Project. With your support, this international platform Geidai NY Project can become an annual tradition. Your gift will help young Japanese artists experience the creative energy of New York, engage with global audiences, and develop the relationships and inspiration that can shape their future careers.
