With an eye towards the future of computer graphics, The Computer Graphic Arts Society (CG-ARTS)
 was established in 1991, during the early days of its history, by combining the aspirations of human resource development and cultural promotion of personnel at the forefront of academics / art / industry, in the field of image information.

 

Now, 20 years later, Japanese media arts and the contents industry, which includes animation, entertainment, manga, and art, has progressed greatly and has become a world-class culture that Japan can be proud of.
 

The CG-ARTS conducts various activities to support the birth and growth of the fascinating culture of Japan.
One of the main pillars of these activities is the nurturing of expert personnel through educational promotion activities including the creation of education curriculums, the development of teaching materials, the training of teachers and instructors, and the implementation of certifications, for the purpose of strengthening the reinforcement of the basic abilities of people involved in the image information field.

The other is the cultural promotion activities to help connect new talent to society, which include the operation of communication websites, the producing of exhibitions and events, the support for creative activities, and hosting the CG Contest for Students.

In many industries, the role that the "contents" plays is increasing, and therefore the importance of human resource development and cultural promotion in the field of image information is growing even further.

The CG-ARTS will continue to foster expert personnel, connecting to society the emerging talent who will be the bearers of new culture, thereby contributing to the propagation of Japanese culture to the world
