A wooden school building-turned-international art hub is inspiring creativity and community 🎨🤝! Fukushima Prefecture's NIAV–Nishiaizu International Art Village hosts global 🌍 artists and creators for long-term stays, harnessing local resources to bring their vision to life. Exhibitions draw many visitors from outside the prefecture and boost the local economy, but the village is more than a showcase. Beyond fostering sustainability through events and hands-on crafts workshops, it has attracted new residents and businesses while exploring new ways to enliven the area through art. #RegionalRevitalization
