ART WALK Costume Day: Children's Art Museum Shiogama

About this event

"ART WALK Costume Day: Children's Art Museum Shiogama" is an event hosted by the Shiogama City Sugimura Jun Museum of Art that blends art and local culture. This event combines elements of "ART WALK ~Costume Day~," a town-walking art event inspired by Halloween, and "Children's Art Museum Shiogama," which provides opportunities for children to engage with art. Specifically, it includes a town-walking art event where participants dress up in unique costumes created by artists based on local characteristics and stroll through an area of Kitahama, Shiogama City. Participants can experience shouting "ART is COMING !" in front of participating shops to receive treats and goods from local businesses. Open to both adults and children, prizes prepared include meringue treats made with local soy sauce, tea confectionery, croquettes from a butcher shop, vegetable-shaped jellies, art merchandise, and traditional dagashi snacks. Furthermore, "Children's Art Museum Shiogama" will host participatory workshop events across the entire museum featuring seven programs—such as using sumi ink and clay or engaging in physical movement—aimed at preschoolers through 18-year-olds and their guardians. Through these events, the organizers aim to showcase regional charms and create a space where vitality and symbiosis expand through the power of art.
