What is the Gold Exhibition?

An exhibition of works based on gold

The color series has become an annual event, starting with the first "#Blue" exhibition, and has had various themes of colors such as white and red.

This is an exhibition that focuses on the colors that we see in our daily lives and notice without even thinking about them.


GOLD had a large number of participating artists and visitors, and was so popular that we have decided to hold a second event.
We look forward to seeing each artist's images of gold.

Art Gallery 410Gallery

Fukuoka Connects with Asia

Located in the heart of Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Kamikawabata-cho in Hakata Ward is a historic area that has long flourished as a trading 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 center of trade, festivals, and commerce, a two-minute walk from the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. It is on the fourth floor of a nearly 50-year-old vintage building and is a gallery that has attracted attention from art fans and those involved in the arts with its concept of "a pure white space created to display works of art."
