One of the world's largest events for children's creativity and self-expression
"CANVAS Workshop Collection"
A large-scale event has been confirmed for March 2020 in Tokyo!
—————————————
To All Members of the Press
Thank you very much for your continued support.
CANVAS (President: Nanako Ishido) has announced that it will hold its Workshop Collection over two days, on Saturday, March 21, and Sunday, March 22, 2020.
A large-scale event will be held in Tokyo, utilizing an entire building at a university scheduled to open in 2020.
We’ve prepared a wide variety of engaging programs that everyone—from preschoolers to elementary school students to adults—can enjoy all day long, including special workshop sessions led by Yoshimoto comedians serving as guest instructors, as well as lectures by instructors active on the front lines of the global stage. These two days are dedicated to supporting the diverse creative endeavors of children who will shape the future.
Accordingly, we began accepting applications on October 4 from enthusiastic exhibitors who would like to help make the “CANVAS Workshop Collection”—an event designed to stimulate children’s creativity and expressive abilities—a success.
We realize you are very busy, but we hope you will understand the purpose of this event. We would greatly appreciate it if you could participate as an exhibitor, promote the event through your company’s media channels, and cover the event on the day of the event. Thank you for your consideration.
If you are able to feature this in your publication, we would appreciate it if you could—
Please let us know.
