This paper will consider the public value of art, which has resurfaced in the Japanese academic field after the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11th, 2011. What is the role of the public cultural facilities in each region? In order to get anempirical answer, three cultural facilities located in Tohoku, which are amongst those most damaged by the earthquake, have been visited. The first facility, the Alios Iwaki Performing Arts Center provided shelter and operated a system from March 11th to May 5th, in which artists were sent to perform in certain regions under the name “Alios going out”. The second facility, Sendai Mediatheque has prompted a number of people to dialogue through the Internet. Post-earthquake philosophy cafes and public participation programs have been operating steadily within this facility.
