The Inujima Art Project is a recovery venture covering the whole island by the Naoshima Fukutake Art Museum Foundation, an undertaking of Benesse Corporation. It opened to people in general in April 2008.

It was the organized endeavors of the draftsman Hiroshi Sambuichi and Yukinori Yanagi who worked together with the planner in his fine art, and the Faculty of Environmental Science and Technology at Okayama University.

Like close-by Naoshima Island, Inujima has turned out to be known as a site for present day workmanship as of late and fills in as a setting of the Setouchi Triennale current craftsmanship celebration.
