Get Ready for MEET YOUR ART FESTIVAL 2025: An Exuberant Celebration of Art, Craft, and Culture

MEET YOUR ART FESTIVAL 2025

The MEET YOUR ART FESTIVAL is set to take the art world by storm once again from October 10 to 13, 2025, in Tokyo's Tennozu Canal area. This festival promises to be one of the largest art festivals in Japan, featuring a diverse array of activities including art exhibitions, fairs, markets, live performances, and engaging talk sessions. With participation from more than 90 creators and brands, attendees will immerse themselves in a rich variety of artistic expressions and culinary delights over four exciting days.

Highlighting the SUPER ART & CRAFT MARKET

A key feature of this year’s festival is the "SUPER ART & CRAFT MARKET,” a collaboration between MEET YOUR ART and Beams Creative, showcasing unique products crafted by talented individuals and companies. This market includes limited edition items specifically created for the event. Expect to see over 30 vendors in the art goods area, including the highly sought-after collaboration between MISAKO & ROSEN and artist Ken Kagami, featuring items that sold out instantly last year.

The craft area is particularly exciting as it will bring together more than 30 sellers from across Japan, highlighting innovative takes on traditional Okinawan crafts. Food enthusiasts can explore a dedicated area's worth of culinary experiences, such as the “Super Egg Noodle Dish” created by Tomiki Seimen Research Institute, which will be exclusive to the festival.

Special appearances include a unique pop-up store named "HAYATE WADA × FJ," managed by Da-iCE's Hayate Wada and vintage fashion YouTuber FJ, offering curated selections of vintage clothing and exclusive items.

Special Exhibits and Performances

This year marks a significant milestone with the celebration of the beloved character Monchhichi’s 50th anniversary, featuring a special exhibition titled “RE:MONCHHICHI.” Leading contemporary artists like Ken Kagami will reinterpret Monchhichi, showcasing their unique perspectives on this iconic figure.

The festival will also host the art fair “MEET YOUR ARTISTS-CROSSOVER,” showcasing new works from MISATO ANDO, who is making her mark following her previous career as part of the music group BiSH. Additionally, performances such as the “Bread Man” reenactment by artist Ritsu Orimoto will engage attendees with playful yet profound artistic expressions.

A Festival for All the Senses

From engaging talks to captivating performances, the festival will offer activities that delight all the senses. Visitors are encouraged to explore cutting-edge craft workshops from various brands, like woodworking workshops from WOODPRO, and even unique nail art experiences. Moreover, the fashion scene will shine with the special pop-up store featuring a diverse collection of vintage items handpicked by well-known influencers.

Adding to the festive atmosphere is the MYAF Official Bar powered by CRAFT WONDER, aiming to surprise attendees with a range of unique craft drinks, alongside collaborative cocktails created in connection with the luxury resort Six Senses Kyoto.
