The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between arts festival activities participation at the Setouchi Triennale and the health of residents in the town of Naoshima. This was a cross-sectional study. Questionnaires were distributed to all residents of Naoshima who were 20 years old or older (n=2,588). We analyzed responses from 708 people. The associations between arts festival activities participation and health (measured by self-rated health) were analyzed using logistic regression analysis as the primary outcome. Kessler’s psychological distress scale scores were also analyzed in the same manner as the primary outcome. The participating group had an adjusted odds ratio of 1.86 (95% confidence interval: 1.03-3.33) for higher self-rated health compared with those who did not participate. Kessler’s psychological distress scale results showed that the participating group had an adjusted odds ratio of 3.23 (95% confidence interval: 1.19-8.81) for lower psychological distress compared with those who did not participate. In conclusion, arts festival activities participation was associated with higher self-rated health and lower psychological distress. However, caution must be taken in regard to generalizability and causality when interpreting these results. No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.

We conducted a questionnaire survey from November 2021 to March 2022 among residents aged 20 years or older of Naoshima, an island in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. Before the survey, the Setouchi Triennale had been held on Naoshima four times, starting in 2010. We calculated propensity scores for Triennale participation and performed propensity score matching. We then compared cognitive and structural SC by Triennale participation and found significant differences, respectively. We adopted a conditional ordered logistic regression analysis with propensity score matching for cognitive or structural SC, and found adjusted odd ratios of 2.913 (95%CI, 1.846-4.596) for cognitive SC and 4.535 (95%CI, 2.839-7.244) for structural SC. Our findings suggest that Triennale participation enhanced the cognitive aspect of SC while also building structural SC. No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.

Acta Medica Okayama 2023 A Study of Sustainable Management in Arts and Cultural Activities EN Yosuke Nishita Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Okayama University Regional development is an urgent issue in Japan, which is facing various challenges including a declining population, an aging society, and the concentration of the population in Tokyo. Artistic and cultural activities are expected to play a role in community revitalization as cultural capital unique to the community. However, art museums and festivals face the problem of being unable to cover their operating expenses with revenue from their enterprise, and support from non-beneficiaries is necessary for sustainable operations, which is a prerequisite for community revitalization. This paper discusses the management issues of arts and cultural activities, particularly museums and art festivals, from a community revitalization perspective. As the number of stakeholders in arts and cultural activities expands, management must take on the role of organically linking the cultural capital of museums and art festivals with education, welfare, tourism, and industry.
