What is the Minimum Art Exhibition?

Exhibition of works under 10cm

Please exhibit works that combine the worldview of miniatures with that of art.

Small works are so cute, aren't they? You can't help but want them. We are looking for works that reflect the imagination of each artist, whether they are detailed drawings, small abstract shapes, realistic or fantastical.

We look forward to seeing the diverse expressions that artists pack into these small works.

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."
