10th Spiral Independent Creators Festival

Spiral
Finished
Spiral Independent Creators Festival is an annual event started in 2000, serving as a place to discover young artists and designers. Filling up the Spiral Hall divided into 50 booths, 100 artists/art units who passed the portfolio review are divided into two groups, the first group exhibiting during the first two days, May 2nd and 3rd, and the second group on the 4th and 5th. This lively event showcases a wide variety of genres including fine art, design and fashion.

SICF aims at holding a place of encounter between creators and anyone who is interested in art. It's a place to find new talent, talk to the creators in person, and purchase a work on display. For creators, this is an opportunity to move forward in their professional careers.

A prise will be given to the most outstanding artist/ unit, selected by the guest jurors. This year, SICF has invited 6 professionals such as costume artist Kozue Hibino, architect Hidenobu Matsunaga, who has been the designer of the exhibition space since its inauguration, and Mori Art Museum's director Fumio Nanjo. A grand prize winner will be given an opportunity to be featured in the "Sprial Paper" and hold a solo exhibition at Sprial in fall 2009.

Furthermore, from April 28th (Tue) through May 5th (Tue), celebrating the 10th anniversary of SICF, works by the past grand prize winners will be on display at Sprial Garden. Nine artists who were awarded the grand prize present their most recent works that show their growth since they first made an appearance at SICF.
