AIT, centered in Tokyo, has created a platform for accessing contemporary visual art. Since 2001, AIT has offered educational programs in contemporary art at the independent school MAD (Making Art Different). Courses relevant to contemporary art including art history, philosophy, and sociology are linked with artwork and projects, exhibitions, and trends in the art world and involve networking opportunities with curators, gallerists, and artists. MAD's approach encourages going beyond simply looking at a work, seeking a multilateral and systematic method of art education. The programs are designed to meet the intellectual curiosity of diverse students from first-timers to those seeking specialized education or careers which access the innovative thinking of contemporary art.
