What is the Flower Exhibition?
This is an all-genre exhibition with a floral motif. Artists are welcome to exhibit flowers that they imagine. In the past, we have exhibited many works that are not flowers themselves, such as works with subjects reminiscent of flowers. The theme is the flowers that each artist imagines. We look forward to seeing not only flowers themselves, but also the flowers that you imagine.
Art Gallery 410Gallery
Fukuoka Connects with Asia
Located in the heart of Fukuoka City, Kamikawabata-cho in Hakata Ward is a historic area that has long flourished as a trade center, and is also the central venue for events such as the Hakata Dontaku Port Festival in May and the Hakata Gion Yamakasa in July. 410 Gallery is located in Kawabata Shopping Arcade, the heart of trade, festivals and commerce, and is a two-minute walk from the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. On the fourth floor of a nearly 50-year-old vintage building, the gallery is attracting attention from art fans and those involved in the arts with its concept of "a pure white space created to display works of art."
