MEET YOUR ART FESTIVAL 2025: A Celebration of Art and Culture

The MEET YOUR ART FESTIVAL, organized by a consortium including Avex Creator Agency and local management associations, is set to electrify Tokyo's Tennoz Canal area for four days, from October 10 to 13, 2025. This event promises a diverse range of programs including art exhibitions, fairs, markets, live performances, and dynamic talks that showcase the intersection of art, society, culture, and business.

Festival Details

The festival will unfold in seven venues surrounding the Terada Warehouse, and it will feature an astounding lineup of over 13 talk sessions and public recordings, giving audiences an opportunity to engage with a variety of topics and themes.

Notable guests, including artists and industry figures such as Seiji Kameda (music producer and bassist), Hayato Wada (Da-iCE), and Ryota Katayose (GENERATIONS), will grace the festival stage, enhancing conversations about creativity and collaboration across disciplines.

Program Highlights

October 11 (Saturday): Future Artists Forum (12:00–19:00)

October 12 (Sunday): Diversity (through Art & Culture) (13:00–20:00)

Special Attractions

We are also excited to announce a film screening of Sean Baker's critically acclaimed film Tangerine, shot entirely on an iPhone, which will be presented outdoors on October 12 from 17:45 to 19:15. This engaging film captures the raw and vibrant stories of life in Los Angeles and aligns perfectly with the festival's themes of authenticity and inclusion.
