BAG＠Shibuya Nichome Street Gallery Opens: A New Era of Art in Tokyo

On February 27, 2026, the BAG＠Shibuya Nichome Street Gallery will officially open its doors, transforming a construction site in the heart of Shibuya into a dynamic art exhibition space. Operated by Tokyo Tatemono Co., Ltd., this project, known as BAG-Brillia Art Gallery, aims to reimagine Shibuya’s urban landscape, providing a canvas for art as a means to rediscover the city's essence amid ongoing redevelopment.

A Tribute to Shibuya's Spirit Through Photography

Photographer Yoshida Nagi, renowned for capturing the beauty and diversity of various cultures, will showcase her work that focuses on the “people of Shibuya.” These striking photographs will bring attention to the unique individuals who embody the spirit of this ever-evolving urban environment. By making the local community the subjects of her art, the project seeks to foster connections among residents while highlighting the allure of Shibuya itself.

During the pre-opening event on October 31, 2025, Shibuya’s tourism ambassador and influential hip hop activist, Zeebra, alongside other vibrant local talents, will present their stories through ten captivating pieces. The grand opening will feature new works, including twelve additional portraits selected through an open call, alongside prominent figures like renowned singer Sachiko Kobayashi.

An Innovative Approach to Art in Urban Spaces

The BAG＠Shibuya project is the initial undertaking of the BAG-Brillia Art Gallery, which plans to adopt a site-specific gallery model instead of restricting itself to a permanent location. This innovative approach allows for an exploration of different venues that resonate with the characteristics of each site, making art more accessible to the public. By utilizing the construction fencing at the site, it invites the daily pedestrian traffic to encounter art organically as part of their routine.

Tokyo Tatemono is dedicated to enriching community experiences through artistry, extending beyond typical residential and facility development to enhance the quality of urban life. The BAG＠Shibuya project plays an integral role in this vision, pledging to create immersive artistic experiences interconnected with the local environment.

Discovering the Diverse Talent of Shibuya

The projects’ development is spearheaded by The Chain Museum Co., Ltd., in collaboration with Yoshida Nagi and other creative entities like Nomura Co., Ltd. and Arts and Brands Co., Ltd. Through this initiative, they aim to curate an immersive experience for city dwellers and visitors, showcasing diverse local personalities and their contributions to Shibuya's identity.

The street gallery invites everyone to engage with the art displayed, forming a bridge between the mundane and the extraordinary, shedding light on the cultural fabric that makes Shibuya a significant metropolis.
