Art Osaka 2021 will hold its 19th installment from July 18th and 20th (with a preview on Sunday, July 18th 12:00-16:00) at Osaka City Central Public Hall (a nationally designated important cultural property).
Art Osaka is the longest-running art fair in Japan, modeling itself as a hotel art fair showcasing the best in contemporary art. This year marks a fresh step forward and a collaborative merger with a representative model of modern architecture in Osaka.
Located in the city’s Nakanoshima area, the venue for this year’s exhibition, Osaka City Central Public Hall, has been known to citizens as a place of arts, culture, and social activity since its completion in 1918. Nakanoshima is home to cultural sights such as the National Museum of Art, Osaka Prefectural Nakanoshima Library, Festival Hall, and more, and remains an area of great anticipation with the scheduled completion of the new Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka in 2022. In addition, the Nakanoshima area’s wonderful scenery offers a break from the bustle of the city, with green surrounds and the Dojimagawa and Tosaborigawa rivers flowing on the north and south sides respectively.
The unveiling of Art Osaka 2021 in this wonderful area of arts and culture will bring together a group of 46 contemporary art galleries. Guests are invited to view the selection of paintings, sculpture, fine-art photography, film, prints, and spatial installations chosen by the unique tastes of each gallerist; if anything captures our visitors’ eyes, they will be able to purchase works directly at the venue.
*In order to maintain a fixed number of visitors inside the building, entry will be by prior reservation only.
