New Tokyo Contemporaries (NTC) has organized an art month in Tokyo from January to February 2010, around the theme of contemporary culture and business. During the art month, NTC will present talks, parties and exhibitions at venues throughout Tokyo, including events in the Otemachi district and at Nikkei SPACE NIO. Each of the seven NTC member galleries will present special exhibitions as well as collaborations between gallery artists and partners from throughout Tokyo's cultural community including emerging talents from the design, fashion and music fields.

The art month represents a collective effort to bring art into closer contact with daily life in Tokyo, and is open to all participants. NTC's aim is to foreground contemporary art as an essential part of everyday contemporary culture. The art month represents a new phase of activity for NTC, which was founded with the goal of increasing opportunities for and interest in the exhibition and appreciation of contemporary art in Tokyo.
