Exciting News: Launch of 'TOKYO ATLAS'

The Tokyo International Arts Festival Executive Committee and the Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation for History and Culture have just announced an exciting initiative related to the upcoming international art exhibition, 'TOKYO ATLAS.' This event will take place from October 10 to December 20, 2026, and promises to be a grand showcase of artistic talent and innovation.

About 'TOKYO ATLAS'

'TOKYO ATLAS' aims to discover and support emerging talents in the art world, providing a platform for artists to present their work and engage with a diverse audience. The exhibition will be held at the WHO WHAT MUSEUM in Tennozu, an inspiring venue that amplifies creativity and cultural exchange. The program, 'Coordinates,' will serve as a focal point for bringing together young artists, curators, and management personnel supported by Tokyo’s art initiatives, allowing them to re-evaluate their work from various perspectives and create new artistic coordinates.

Exhibition Highlights

In the 1st-floor exhibition, which will feature young management personnel who have taken part in overseas programs, attendees can expect innovative explorations of the surrounding geographical features, ultimately unveiling new landscapes shaped by artistic vision. On the 2nd floor, artists with prior experience in programs like Tokyo Arts and Space (TOKAS) will present their interpretations of the current state of contemporary art, providing a multifaceted understanding of today's artistic landscape.

Moreover, visitors can engage in a variety of interactive programs during the exhibition, including live performances, public creation sessions at the entrance, and talks throughout the event duration. These diverse offerings will foster meaningful interactions with art, allowing attendees to encounter various perspectives and ideas that are characteristic of Tokyo's unique cultural environment.

A Platform for Exchange

Through both this exhibition and 'TOKYO ATLAS,' the goal is to create a platform for the discovery of art that reflects the values of Tokyo, promoting encounters and exchanges that enrich the cultural fabric of the city. This initiative highlights how art can connect individuals and communities, bridging gaps between different viewpoints and experiences.
