Nagoya hopes the Aichi Triennale art festival will bring together artists and citizens from around the world.
The international art festival, which started Aug. 21, is showcasing cutting-edge contemporary art and stage performances at four locations in the city under the theme of "Arts and Cities."
"I would like to make the city more attractive by promoting arts and culture," said Aichi Gov. Masaaki Kanda, head of the steering committee for the inaugural event.
