The “TOBI Gateway Project” begins!

2012.04.09

After three days of screening, 68 Art Communicator candidates were chosen. Including the 26 people who applied and had previously volunteered at the “Special Art Viewing Event for the Disabled,” we started off with a total of 94 Art Communicator candidates (TOBIRA Candidates).

There was nearly five times the amount of applications compared to the 68 chosen candidates. The applicants all had high motivation and awareness, so it was a difficult journey to choose the candidates. We ask for your understanding in that we had to give consideration to age, gender, and team balance when making our choices.

The TOBI Gateway Project had its real start on April 14th. From now, it will continue into Foundation Courses and Practical Application Courses. This blog will be uploaded from time to time about the TOBIRA’s activities, of course, as well as show things like the TOBIRAs at a TOBI exhibition, the restaurant, the café, and the Tokyo University of the Arts which is on the grounds next to us.
I hope you will continue to support the TOBI Gateway Project! (Itō)

TOBI and TOBIRA Project Logos

2012.01.13

In conjunction with the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum (“TOBI”) reopening following renovation, the first TOBI logo since the Museum’s opening was created. It was designed by Tokujin Yoshioka, and it captures TOBI’s history and the impression of its substantial facade. It truly symbolizes TOBI.

Here is a drawing with an image of the “TOBI Gateway Project” activities, drawn by the artist Katsuhiko Hibino, who was inspired by the logo.

“TOBIRA” is drawn here with the hope that people who visit TOBI like artists, locals and students can come and make connections with other visitors while thinking of it as their own museum.

Also, based on this drawing, Yui Takada designed the TOBIRA Project logo. It was created with the “passing of the baton” by the thoughts of many people. I hope that both logos continue to be loved by all. (Itō)
