Space Exhibition #1
An art exhibition themed around "space."
We are looking for works based on free-thinking ideas, including stars, planets, galaxies, as well as unknown worlds, the future, life, and imaginary universes.
Free expression and experimental approaches are also very welcome.
Please exhibit your imaginative works that explore the boundless expanse of the universe.
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 Hakata-Kawabata, the heart of Fukuoka and a famous tourist destination, just a two-minute walk from the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. Situated on a street in 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 location. Taking advantage of its high-traffic, street-facing location, it is an open gallery that values "accidental entrances" where people can casually encounter artwork in their daily lives.
