Tokyo Art Beat FAQ

Art and design exhibitions and events held throughout Japan can be listed in most cases. However, whether or not the venue of the exhibition or event is already listed on TAB is a major factor in the decision-making process.
In addition, we make decisions on a case-by-case basis based on the timing of receipt of event information (e.g., just before the event, already underway, etc.), the genre of the event, the duration of the event, and other factors.
In some cases, we may be unable to list an event just prior to its opening or an exhibition or event that is already underway, although we will respond to such requests as soon as possible. Auctions, one-day events, lectures and talks with limited capacity, etc. may also not be posted.
