Tama Art University Holding Think With Pokemon Art Exhibit

Tama Art University in Japan will hold its third Think With Pokemon: Art & Environment Education exhibit later this month. It’ll run from March 27 to April 6, 2025, and it’s a free program.

There are multiple promotional images featuring the sculptures the students at the university made. For example, we can see an Ogerpon made from nets, game cassettes, tubes, and the like. There’s also a Zorua made out of potholders, clothespins, goggles, and the like. These are Pokemon Upcycle Sculptures, which product design majors at the university make using materials they can find around them. You can see these examples on the webpage for the exhibition.

As this is the third time the university’s hosting the exhibit, it’s now displaying over 70 different species of Pokemon. Not only does the exhibition hope to impart the joy of exercising your imagination and making something, it’ll also provide information on eco-friendly designs.

On March 29 and April 6, 2025, the university will also host a workshop where kids and parents can make their own Poke Balls. You can start applying for this event from March 11, 2025. It’ll focus on teaching kids how to craft a Poke Ball using materials like cardboard and recycled paper, and each workshop can only have fifteen kids (including one supervisor each).

The Think With Pokemon: Art & Environment Education workshop will run in Tama Art University from March 27 to April 6, 2025. The newest entry in the franchise, Pokemon Legends Z-A, will come out on the Nintendo Switch later this year.
