Exhibition Organizer

We offer support and advice to artists who wish to promote their work professionally. We launched two art events in 2008 in order to support them. The first one, Young Artist Japan, is a venue where artists are able to exhibit and sell their works to the market directly. The second one is a contemporary art awards event, where prizes are awarded to the artists chosen by prominent juror in the art industry.

ART FAIR YONG ARTIST JAPAN
It is a public subscription exhibition that was designed for young artists to express and communicate themselves to visitors directly. We provide the artists with spaces to exhibit and sell their works. We presented more than 1.000 works from over 100 artists in first event in 2008. The unique aspect of this event is that the sale will be conducted simultaneously on our website through the year. Although the art fair lasts two days, it still enables the participants to conduct sales in the long-term.
