We are pleased to present Kansai Art Annual 2025, a new platform for showcasing and experiencing the work of emerging artists with ties to the Kansai region. This exhibition is a cultural initiative launched through a partnership between the Association for the Promotion of Contemporary Art in Japan (APCA), which has run the contemporary art fair Art Osaka in Osaka for over 20 years, and Shinsaibashi PARCO, a long-time supporter of cultural innovation with a track record of collaborations with up-and-coming creators.
Kansai is home to a diverse range of distinctive galleries, each serving as a platform for contemporary art and providing opportunities for artists to hone their unique forms of expression. This exhibition features a selection of leading galleries in the region and their standout artists, whose works reflect the zeitgeist and come together to produce a vibrant venue.
Since its opening, Shinsaibashi PARCO, which serves as the exhibition venue, has transcended the traditional role of a commercial facility, continuously generating new cultural value through advertising and creative initiatives. Underlying these efforts is a spirit of collaboration with emerging creators, keeping Shinsaibashi PARCO consistently at the forefront of the times.
In this inaugural edition, titled CO, the exhibition presents a curated selection of exceptional galleries, primarily located in the Shinsaibashi PARCO area, and up-and-coming artists. The title CO signifies collaboration, symbolizing partnerships not only between artists and galleries, but also among the broader network of diverse players who underpin contemporary culture. Our hope is that this exhibition provides all visitors with opportunities to make new connections with contemporary art and gain fresh new perspectives.
