Sapporo Art Park (札幌芸術の森, Sapporo Geijutsu no Mori) is an open-air complex of sites in Minami-ku, Sapporo, dedicated to visual and performing art exhibits and facilities. Constructed in 1986, the park was established "to cultivate unique new culture in Sapporo and create an environment in which the city, the arts, and culture exist in harmony with Sapporo’s natural beauty."[1] The park is situated in the forests on the outskirts of Sapporo, close to Sapporo City University.[2] In addition to art and sculpture displays, the park also rents out workshops, studios, and other spaces for creative arts. | ||||||
