KEX Supporters
KEX Supporters is a membership system that allows individuals to make direct donations to Kyoto Experiment in return for a number of special benefits. The festival started the system in 2023 with the aim of establishing donations to the festival as one key pillar of the festival’s core funding.
In recent years, the festival has managed to sustain itself under an unstable financial situation. However, in addition to the changing international situation and rising prices, this year, the announced amount of funding we receive was far below what was expected and we are under very severe circumstances fearing whether the festival can carry on. Donations from supporters are now an essential part of the foundation for running the festival.
For the continuation and future of this festival, we sincerely hope for your support and your help to widely publicize this program.
