About ART OSAKA

Specializing in contemporary art and a history of more than 20 years, ART OSAKA is the longest-running art fair in Japan. Since its establishment in 2002, the fair continues to be managed by gallery owners, with their needs in mind. It has continuously contributed to the fostering of contemporary artists and the promotion of a healthy art market, emphasizing the importance of shaping the history of contemporary art with collectors and art professionals together.
The sale of artworks plays an important role in the promotion of culture in contemporary art, and proactive involvement with each and every business and citizen helps support art culture. ART OSAKA promotes enjoyment in both purchasing and owning artwork, and also in the social significance of collecting contemporary art.
