The Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial is an international modern art festival held once every three years in the Niigata prefecture, Japan.[1] The festival was created by the Tokyo commercial gallery Art Front Gallery (AFG) and is directed by Fram Kitagawa.[2] It was first held in 2000 for a "grand" two-month exhibition in "communities, rice fields, vacant houses, and closed schools across a 760 square kilometer (187,800 acre) region."[1] In 2009 the pieces included a silver "croquette" house serving a croquette of locally harvested potatoes, a herb shop, a giant grasshopper slide, and a sculpture of a giant man.[1]
