Co-Study offers the following two programs:
Associate Program
Taking advantage of the Osaka-Kansai Expo, this art festival has set the theme for 2025 as "social impact," which refers to revitalizing culture, the arts, and the economy, as well as bringing social issues to light. We will introduce exhibitions and other events that fit this theme as the "Associate Program."
The selection will be made by art experts appointed by the festival, based on the event summary and event plan you fill in on the registration form.
Fringe Program
This is an event where you can join in and make the festival a success as a team member. We look forward to receiving registrations for events of various genres and themes.
