Abstract
Some contemporary arts have spread into various aspects of our social lives, and policies promoting culture and art have been formulated. Since these policies can contribute to the development of a region and the improvement of people's quality of life, so it should be guaranteed that everybody has the rights to create and enjoy for culture and art.
Osaka City draws up an outstanding plan for the development of the city through the activation for experimental arts. In Shinsekai Arts Park, one of the venues hosting cultural programs in Osaka City, four art nonprofit organizations (NPOs) base the vacancies managed by Osaka City, explore the possibilities of their expression at a time when they are successful in cultivating an organic relationship with the "Shinsekai" region. It could be said that many projects of experimental arts have affected people's lives and regional activation or, in a manner of speaking, has cultivated their culture. However, Osaka City changed the plan and shifted the genre of support from experimental arts to traditional arts and digital contents industry.
Art is the expression of one's values. In cooperation for arts creation we would know there are various values, and confront such themes as coexisting with all kinds of others in this society. The activities of these NPOs have succeeded in creating a "local public sphere" of artists and citizens and a setting for the construction of a "civil society" from the grass roots. In cultural policies there are problems such as biased budget, inconsistency of plan, or the immaturity of the manner of collaboration between the government and civil sector as NPOs. It would be expected that we recognize for public aspects of culture and art in the society, and have cultural tolerance of various values to coexist and invest time into "cultivating" such culture.
