Notice Regarding the Suspension of the Kids Creative Institute Annual and 3-Month Series

 キッズクリエイティブ研究所年間・3カ月シリーズお休みのご案内

Regarding the Kids Creative Institute’s annual and 3-month series at Takeshiba for the 2024 fiscal year, we will be temporarily suspending these programs.
The “Kids-Only Museum” will continue to be held during the 2024 fiscal year.
We also plan to hold special one-time events that you can join individually.
We’d be delighted if you could participate.

To help us plan for the future, please take a moment to fill out our survey and let us know which past Kids Creative Lab programs stand out in your memory or which ones you’d like to participate in again.

We’ll continue to provide spaces and programs where children can thrive and express themselves freely, so we look forward to your continued support of the Kids Creative Lab and CANVAS this fiscal year!
