| Import of I.M.A. |
Artists must be the heroes or heroines in all art exhibitions.
We must hold the surroundings by which subjectivity, independency and superiority
of artists should be respected at the exhibitions.
We will aim to create freedom, equality and novel worth in fine arts and
promote to join people who develop fine arts without being possessed by
accomplished ideas. |

The International Modern Artists Association (I.M.A.), which originates
from the Kanagawa Prefecture Artists Association (KEN-TEN), was established
in 1981.
Locating the head office in Yokohama, I.M.A. started the activities as
main projects of being open to participants all over Japan, and took over
the international exchange activities of KEN-TEN.
Ever since I.M.A. has continued and developed the activities extensively,
having filled the role of the ports of exchange between I.M.A. Members
and overseas, overseas artists and Japan.
In 1979, when the KEN-TEN reached its 20th Anniversary, the exchange of
art with the SOCIETE NATIONAL DES BEAUX-ARTS (S.N.B.A.) came true as a
memorial event.
In May of 1979, 20 artworks of S.N.B.A. Members()were invited and exhibited.
In June of 1979, 60 artworks of KEN-TEN Members were participated at the
S.N.B.A. Biennial Exposition held at the Grand Palais in Paris, and the
KEN-TEN settled the basis of international exchange of art.
At this opportunity our interest in projects abroad had risen, the I.M.A.
was established as the international section of KEN-TEN, which aimed the
activities in more extensive areas, including not only Kanagawa Prefecture
but also overseas.
