Fruit Exhibition #1
"OPENING EXHIBITION"
We are seeking works that freely express the image of "fruit" that each individual has in mind. We welcome a wide range of works, from realistic depictions to abstract expressions and cute pieces. In the past, we have exhibited not only the fruit itself, but also abstract expressions of colors and shapes that evoke fruit, as well as indirect expressions. There are no restrictions on genre or technique. Please exhibit the fruit that is inside you.
★Opening Reception
Enjoy a social gathering with artists, art professionals, and other attendees while viewing the artwork.
・Date: September 4, 2026
・Time: 15:00 - 17:00
・Venue: 410Gallery PLUS
・Membership fee: Not required
*Light refreshments and drinks will be provided by the gallery.
Organized by: Art Gallery 410Gallery
410Gallery is an art space where artists from Japan and abroad gather, and diverse works resonate with one another. It is a place of challenge and growth for artists, and a place of "discovery" where visitors can encounter new talent and values. It is an open gallery where you can not only "view" art, but also "feel, think, and connect" with it.
Exhibition venue: 410GALLERY PLUS
410Gallery PLUS is located in the famous Hakata Kawabata Shopping Arcade, just a two-minute walk from the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. Situated on the street of a bustling area where over 10,000 people pass through on weekdays and over 20,000 on weekends, it has opened as 410Gallery's second new location. Composed of an entrance space facing the street and a semi-basement space extending into the back, it is an open gallery that values the "accidental entrance" where people can stumble upon artwork in their daily lives.
A limited-edition original tote bag featuring the exhibiting artist will be given as a gift.
Thanks to your support, 410Gallery has reached its 10th anniversary.
We express our sincere gratitude for your support and participation up to now.
Therefore, as a token of our gratitude to all the artists who exhibited their works, we will be giving them original tote bags.
This is a rare item, available only in 2026.
Be sure to get your hands on our 10th anniversary commemorative tote bag!
