The 2025 artist fellows and their mentors come together to give presentations about their activities over the year. The event is streamed and available to watch.
CCBT will also announce the theme for the 2026 artist fellows open call.
One of CCBT’s core programs, Art Incubation provides opportunities to engage in new artistic activities and opens up that process to the public with the aim of producing creativity, exploration, and action that change cities for the better. Five creatives are selected from an open call to be artist fellows, partnering with CCBT to develop and present their projects, and making their creative process available to the public in various ways, and holding workshops and talks.
In 2025, five artist fellows (Ueda Maki, Kishi Yuma, Doi Itsuki, Fujishima Sacco, and Yamauchi Shota) have developed projects in various formats and mediums, from exhibitions to talks and performance, held at CCBT and other locations around Tokyo.
These final presentations bring together the artist fellows and the mentors who have accompanied them as they strove to bring their projects to fruition. The fellows will share the backgrounds to their works and projects, the thinking and testing that emerged over the course of the production process, and exclusive anecdotes.
The moderator for the event is Fuse Rintaro, a 2024 CCBT artist fellow. In addition to providing an overview of the fellows’ activities over the year, the presentations show how the participants responded to the 2025 theme of Future Commons, offering insights into ways to coexist and thrive with different kinds of people and entities.
This event also features an announcement of new theme for the 2026 artist fellow open call.
