Educational Programs

As part of the Japanese Arts Foundation’s mission to create inclusive and equitable opportunity, education, and support of Japanese arts thriving in Chicago we are wholly invested in serving young learners and thinkers. School programs are an integral part of what we do, and we are always seeking new opportunities to reach new students and educators.

Thanks to the strong partnerships we have made with Chicago Public Schools, Embarc, and My Block, My Hood, My City, we are able to regularly serve the Chicago K-12 learning community. This year we hosted 15 different schools, and taught Japanese art and culture workshops to over 300 students! The workshops we featured this year taught a myriad of Japanese arts to students, including calligraphy, haiku, origami, ikebana, animation, tea ceremony, and manga drawing.
