The "3331 Independents Scholarship" is a support system taking the form of a group exhibition at 3331 for the artists selected from "3331 Independents", an open call exhibition forming part of the "Chiyoda Arts Festival" held every autumn. This exhibition will present 9 artists who were selected from the "Chiyoda Arts Festival 2012" by 8 guests and visitor votes out of approximately 300 works. From students who are still at university to artists who have taught themselves to paint, the exhibiting artists will enhance the work entered in the "3331 Independents", challenged to show their work in a larger exhibition space. During the exhibition, work will also be on sale with the aim of encouraging career development of participating artists.
