“ARTISTS’ FAIR KYOTO” is organized in characteristic venues such as an old factory in Downtown Kyoto and the modern architecture of an Important Cultural Property that represents Kyoto. The fair presented the artwork of domestically and internationally appraised artists and those of up-and-coming artists who were specially chosen.
“ARTISTS’ FAIR KYOTO” was launched in 2018, and became a place where people could appreciate and purchase artwork. The thrilling experience of purchasing art in the eccentric atmosphere of an exhibition called for much recognition, resulting in double amount of sales in 2019 from the previous year. The excitement produced through direct communication between the artists and the visitors were present throughout the venue until the end of the exhibition, leaving an impact on the people that they were experiencing the beginning of a new history.
The exhibition opened a new path for the creation of culture that is not affected by conventional common sense.

“ARTISTS’ FAIR KYOTO” is a completely new style of art fair that is planned, organized, and showcased by the artists, which nurtures a new value by initiating the artists themselves in the market development process. By creating a stage for presenting work upon the artist and audience’s relationship, and the natural culture of purchasing art, we aspire to construct in Kyoto a platform where our next generation of artists can creatively engage in cultural activities.
