Open call for artwork proposal of “ICHIHARA ART×MIX”. This project is one of projects for Naka-Boso International Art Festival, held in Ichihara city in Chiba prefecture in Spring 2014. The festival is organized by Furamu Kitagawa. ICHIHARA ART×MIX, the name of Naka-Boso International Art Festival, is currently in preparation.

Ichihara is a medium-sized city situated in the undulating satoyama landscapes Naka-Boso, in the heart of the Boso peninsula in Chiba prefecture. It is blessed with a mild climate and enjoys various local delicacies - an oasis in the midst of the megalopolis.
The festival is staged as a unique international art festival, encompassing nature, food, theatre, performances, music, and sports mixed with art.　Various artists will exploit the characteristics of the area and create artworks highlighting the charm of this area.
