Okazaki City and Okazaki City Night Time Economy Promotion Council will hold "Okazaki Digital Art Night Festival Workshop Program" on October 29 and 30, 2022 at OTO CLUB (Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture).

This event invites international art director/digital artist Jack Hung and other lecturers to help the next generation of creators improve their skills in digital art as an art form and projection mapping as a technology through group work. The projection mapping images created by the group will be projected onto the 16.4meter wide and 11meter high Otemon Gate, the main entrance to Okazaki Castle, the birthplace of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The program is open to students of high school age and above. Participation is free of charge and prior application is required.

The maximum number of participants is 50. If there are too many applicants, the organizer will select the participants.

This is a rare opportunity for international top creators and next-generation creators to exchange and co-create, enhance their creativity and technical skills, and project their works on the Otemon Gate of Okazaki Castle.
We look forward to your participation.

This project was adopted by the Agency for Cultural Affairs' “Japan Cultural Expo“ 2022 as a project to promote the utilization of cultural resources.
