AAF holds opportunities to allow participating organizations all over Japan to assemble three times a year. The occasions are "Network Conference," which aims to create networks among projects, "Grand Open Party," which celebrates the opening, and "Report Meeting," where the accomplishments are publicized. We also hope to serve the role to link communities and art through "Interchange Support Program," which promotes independent networking and "AAF café" where discussions on art project potentials are held.

Executive Committee

Asahi Art Festival is run through Executive Committee style. In order to proceed the festival, the committee holds discussions mainly through mailing list on all subjects including public advertisement and selection of projects, public relation activities, planning and management of events to promote interchange of participating projects and verification of individual projects.

Individuals from art-related non-profit organizations and citizens' groups all over Japan participate in the committee. Anyone interested in AAF can take a part.

AAF Network

AAF Network is a framework organizations that have participated in AAF can take a part.

AAF2010 is an assembly of "projects," whereas network is an assembly of "organizations."
AAF network is a framework created during AAF 2008. The network has strengthened its functions to actively seek for participation. For example, organizations can take part in "Interchange Support Program," which promotes independent interchange between communities. Organizations can also use Network Organizations page planned to be created on AAF Website during AAF 2010.

Interchange Support Program

AAF intends to strengthen the network spread out all over Japan. While Network Conference is a part of such move, we have also adopted a system to financially assist travel expanses to promote independent interchange among staffs of participating organizations. This system provides travel expenses to plans for staff interchange that have applied and obtained approvals from the Executive Committee. We hope the system will develop various possibilities, such as staffs to consider new developments through sharing the situations of their projects, and activating plans by utilizing the strength of each locality.
