Fruit Exhibition #1
Theme: Fruit
We are seeking artwork that freely expresses each artist's image of "fruit." We welcome a wide range of works, from realistic depictions to abstract expressions and cute pieces. We are looking for works that evoke "fruit" indirectly, such as "colors and shapes that suggest fruit," "the fresh feeling of fruit," or "abstract expressions that suggest the vitality of fruit." There are no restrictions on genre or technique. Please freely depict the "fruit" that lives within you. For example, fruit that would look cute displayed in a room. We look forward to your submissions.
Organized by: Art Gallery 410Gallery
"Enjoying art"
410Gallery brings together a diverse range of artists, both professional and amateur, and daily exhibitions transcending genre and experience boundaries are created. It is a gallery where various forms of expression naturally intertwine within a space for enjoying art, and where artists from different backgrounds present their work in the same place, continuously expanding the possibilities of new forms of expression.

"The artwork and the viewer create the space."
This is an open gallery facing the Kawabata Shopping Street. Taking full advantage of its street-level location, this place values being a "chance entrance" where even those unfamiliar with art can easily encounter works of art as an extension of their daily lives.
