Call for submissions for the International Open Exhibition
10th Anniversary
Mobile Phone Photo Exhibition #2
Theme: Snippets of everyday life
This popular event, which was held 10 years ago, will be held again.
We are looking for "casual photos" taken with your mobile phone (smartphone).
Photos of the first sunrise of the year, landscapes, delicious food, rare moments, and cute photos of cats and dogs are all welcome. It doesn't have to be a special photo. Just show us a "nice moment" that suddenly appears in your daily life. That photo may gently warm someone's heart.
Organized by: Art Gallery 410Gallery
"Enjoy 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 new possibilities for expression continuously expand as artists from different backgrounds present their work in the same place.

410Gallery FUKUOKA
"A space created to showcase artwork."
Nestled within the Kawabata Shopping Arcade, 410Gallery boasts a privileged location just a two-minute walk from the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. It's a quietly vibrant gallery situated on the fourth floor of a 60-year-old vintage building. Here, the layers of time inherent in the old building resonate with the fresh sensibilities of contemporary art, creating a truly special space.
Fukuoka / Hakata/Kawabata
"A city of history and culture"
Located in the heart of Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Kamikawabata-machi in Hakata Ward is a place where history and culture intersect. This area has long prospered through trade and has fostered a unique culture, teeming with the energy of festivals such as the Hakata Gion Yamakasa. 410Gallery is situated in the Kawabata Shopping Arcade, just a two-minute walk from the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. The shopping arcade sees over 10,000 pedestrians daily, and during the Hakata Dontaku Port Festival, it attracts as many as 2 million people, making it a vibrant and bustling area.
