This February, the 2018 edition of Echigo-Tsumari Art Field’s winter SnowArt festival launched in the scenic, snow-filled meadows of Niigata Prefecture. The massive production, spanning multiple venues and featuring several international artists, was envisioned by Tokyo-based Art Front Gallery and Setouchi Triennale director Fram Kitagawa, who has directed the event since its inception, and who is noted for his activities relating to community development through art.
