Message from the Chief executive director

The NPO "Arts and Technology Association Kitakyushu"was established in April　2004. The lively success we have achieved thus far has been due to the amazing support and cooperation of all our members for which I am extremely thankful. We aim to unite residents, industry and government in order to create a new environment through art. Recently we have been receiving much recognition for its efforts for which I am exceedingly grateful.
From here on, I look forward to our organization building up more experience, nurturing personal growth, bringing many people together and making use of Kitakyushu's cultural assets to search out new possibilities while working toward bigger and better activities. Toward this end, I ask for everyone's understanding and support. Thank you.
