Opened in Akihabara, Tokyo in March 2010, 3331 Arts Chiyoda is a multi-level art center that aims to “create a new art form”. Located in the former Chiyoda Rensei Junior High School, this ‘alternative art space for the 21st century’ offers a range of artistic and cultural activities, as well as a place to link Tokyo with it’s surrounding regions and other East Asian arts communities.

Having three floors above ground and one below, it consists of galleries and academic institutions that hold exhibitions and various events. As well as sharing offices, 3331 offers an open space for people who are involved in various fields of artistic and cultural activity. The occupied galleries include ‘g3/′ by Shigeo Goto and ‘+81 gallery +lab’ by Creative Magazine +81, among others. These galleries are not only showcasing artworks of emerging artists, but also offering a range of activities by delivering their own distinctive projects.

The name “3331″ represents the traditional Edo Ippon Tejime handclap translated into numbers. This traditional custom, three sets of three handclaps, plus one clap at the end, has been used since the Edo period when people want to show their appreciation. Based in Chiyoda-ku, which used to be known as Edo, 3331 Arts Chiyoda will bring new life to art and culture in Tokyo and beyond. No doubt, it will become one of places for you to stand by when you visit the central east area of Tokyo such as Kanda, Akihabara and Ueno.
