Support for Culture and the Arts
The Kirishima International Music Festival
Since 2001, Kyocera has supported the Kirishima International Music Festival (Kirishima city, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan), which started in 1980, to provide students an opportunity to learn from outstanding musicians by experiencing performances firsthand. Over 60 concerts and workshops are held every year, featuring musicians worldwide as invited performers and lecturers. The number of participants from outside Japan (primarily Asia) is increasing every year, and the Kirishima International Music Festival now enjoys growing popularity as one of Asia's major music festivals.
The Kyocera Gallery
The Kyocera Gallery, which is open to the public and free of charge, was established at 1998 at Kyocera's headquarters building (Kyoto, Japan). Many works of art are on permanent display, including Picasso's copper plate print series 347, paintings, sculptures, and Qianlong glass from China.
Special Exhibitions
The Kyocera Gallery hosts special exhibitions related to Kyoto twice a year. Exhibition themes include "support for young artists," "support for artists with disabilities," and "support for regional vitalization." In 2023, the Gallery held an exhibition featuring 40 members of the Kogei Soko-kai, leaders of the traditional Japanese art craft industry. This collaborative exhibition of earthenware with the Kyoto University of the Arts on the theme of "re-invention" attracted many visitors.
Exhibition of Japanese Painting Collection
In September 2023, Kyocera exhibited its collection of Japanese paintings. The collection featured works by 23 artists painted for the Modern Japanese Painting Exhibition that was held in seven cities, including Paris and London, in five countries between 1985 and 1986. The exhibition was sponsored jointly with Wacoal Holdings Corporation (former Wacoal Co., Ltd.) with the goal of showcasing Japanese culture through Japanese paintings. Members of the Kyoto City University of Arts and the Department of General Science of Art helped to create explanations for each painting.
