Call for submissions for the International Open Exhibition
THE ANIMAL #2
"Animal-themed exhibition"
We are seeking works that freely express the world of "animals" as envisioned by each artist. From realistic depictions of animals, reptiles, and dinosaurs to adorable expressions, and abstract works that evoke the "presence of living things" through form, texture, color, and rhythm, the interpretations are limitless.
In previous exhibitions, we have gathered a diverse range of works that evoke animals indirectly, not just animals themselves, but also "forms that somehow resemble living things" and "lines that convey the movement of life." We will cherish that breadth of expression again this time.
Please exhibit the "animals" that you envision.
410Gallery
"Enjoy art"
410Gallery brings together a diverse range of artists, both professional and amateur, to create exhibitions that transcend genres and experiences, allowing for a rich interplay of expression and mutual stimulation. It is a place where participants can meet art fans, expand their own possibilities, and discover new ideas and experiences.

410Gallery FUKUOKA
"A space created to showcase artwork."
Nestled within the Kawabata Shopping Arcade, 410Gallery boasts a privileged location just a two-minute walk from the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. It's a quietly vibrant gallery situated on the fourth floor of a 50-year-old vintage building. Here, the layers of time inherent in the old building resonate with the fresh sensibilities of contemporary art, creating a truly special space.
Fukuoka / Hakata/Kawabata
"A city of history and culture"
Located in the heart of Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Kamikawabata-machi in Hakata Ward is a place where history and culture intersect. This area has long prospered through trade and has fostered a unique culture, teeming with the energy of festivals such as the Hakata Gion Yamakasa. 410Gallery is situated in the Kawabata Shopping Arcade, just a two-minute walk from the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. The shopping arcade sees over 10,000 pedestrians daily, and during the Hakata Dontaku Port Festival, it attracts as many as 2 million people, making it a vibrant and bustling area.
