With an eye on the global society, Fuji Television actively supports the promotion of art and culture.

The Praemium Imperiale, co-sponsored by FCG (Fujisankei Communications Group), is a prestigious award that aims to raise cultural awareness worldwide.  Established in 1988 by the Japan Art Association, this award recognizes artists around the world who have contributed to the development of their craft.  Laureates include Christo & Jeanne-Claude (Sculpture), Andrew Lloyd Webber (Music), the late Arthur Miller (Theater/film), the late Roberto Matta (Painting), as well as other well-known figures.

Fuji Television also supports the Hakone Open-Air Museum which owns approximately 2,000 works, including pieces by Rodin, Moore, and other modern masters.  This museum, which is located in a national park, was Japan’s first open-air museum and is home to the renowned Picasso Pavilion. Containing about 300 works by the great Spanish artist, the highlight of the Picasso Pavilion is the 188 pieces of ceramic artwork purchased from Picasso’s daughter, Maya Picasso.

Fuji Television also organizes numerous top-rate art exhibitions. Among them, “Masterworks from the Museum of Modern Art, New York,” held three times, routinely received critical acclaim.
