artKYOTO 2024 will be held at "Shōsei-en Garden", and will feature exhibitions by galleries and art dealers which deal in antique art, modern art, and contemporary art with a focus on craft art (kogei), which is an essential part of the Japanese art scene.
A variety of cultural art events will be held during the event period. artKYOTO 2024 aims to be a fair that enables attendees to experience the quality of the artworks that have continuously been passed down in Japan and Japan's unique sense of beauty, in Kyoto, a city overflowing with art.
Designated as a Place of Scenic Beauty by the Japanese government, Shōsei-en Garden is part of the detached precincts of Higashi Honganji Temple and features both large and small ponds, along with various buildings. artKYOTO 2024 will use four buildings—Rofu-tei, Rinchi-tei, Tekisui-ken, and Tairitsu-seki—scattered around the kaiyushiki-teien style garden (a type of Japanese garden that features a path surrounding a central pond or lake, often called a “promenade garden” or “stroll garden” in English) as exhibition venues. Historically, this venue was closely associated with poetry, tea ceremonies, Noh and Kyogen plays, and other cultural traditions, brimming with literati culture. On this occasion, it serves as a place where visitors can view and purchase artworks, experiencing the unique sense of Japanese beauty that has been passed down through generations to us in modern times.
