“MEET YOUR ART FESTIVAL” is a cross-disciplinary art festival that aims to bring together adjacent cultures such as music, food, fashion, and lifestyle under one roof, transcending boundaries and creating awareness of the appeal of each culture, as well as designing new encounters and discoveries in art. As a festival where you can enjoy art and culture all day long, last year it attracted over 40,000 people.

The theme of this year’s festival is “NEW ERA.” It aims to create a new movement by featuring not only Japanese art and culture, but also foreign art and culture, particularly from Asia, which is gaining momentum, and by collaborating with cutting-edge creators from Japan and abroad who will be the future leaders of culture and the arts.

In addition to the art content such as art exhibitions and two art fairs that can only be seen here, this year’s talk session by Mirai Moriyama and live music will be even more powerful. In addition, the first-time “TOKYO ART MARKET” will gather more than 40 art-related shops, so you can be sure to enjoy art and culture all day long this year as well. Keep an eye out for future announcements!
