 We are delighted to present new artworks for Shinano Primitive Sense Art Festival 2015.
Titled The birth of water ritual, this year's programme explores art's capacity to call up
the fundamental sense of Art in this moment at Shinano, where JYOMON (Ancient Japanese)
people used to live and to restore and strengthen relationship with nature and tobring people
back into relation in their home communities. Also this festival aims to generate dialogue and,
through collaboration, to fill the city with creativity by engaging with the local community
in order to convey new values to the world at large.
About
 Founded in 2010, Shinano Primitive Sense Art Festival is Omachi City’s largest annual
celebration of art. Uniquely, the festival offers the chance to experience the best contemporary
artists. Enjoy strolling along the Kizaki Lake and watch artists complete pieces, and you can
feel the dynamics of the nature and the earth. To express your original primitive sense, please
visit Shinano and Lake Kizaki in Omachi city where the beautiful lands of water welcome you
for the bud of new creation.
 Shinano Primitive Sense Art Festival 2015 brings together artist-run spaces and emerging
artists and an innovative programme of special events. The vast majority of the festival is free
to attend. We encourage to create connections between art, the nature and the society as
art has a power to develop creativities needed torejuvenate local communities as it intuitively
sees through to the heart of such issues, finds forgotten potentials and recovers disconnected
ties among people.
 In our Artists page, you will find the list of the artists displaying their work and events.
We hope you’ll come along!
