Brillia Art Award Wall 2026

Tokyo Tatemono Co., Ltd. is set to launch the Brillia Art Award Wall 2026, a competition aimed at fostering new generation artists. This event will kick off its submission phase on May 12, 2026, and the winning pieces will be displayed at the Brillia Gallery Shinjuku starting August 2026.

The Brillia brand believes that art can enhance living environments and open up new possibilities. To contribute to this vision, they initiated the Brillia Art Award in 2018 to create opportunities for innovative artists and support their work. From 2024 onward, the initiative has expanded to include two distinct competitions: the Brillia Art Award Wall, focusing on flat works, and the Brillia Art Award Cube, dedicated to three-dimensional pieces.

The main goal of the Brillia Art Award Wall 2026 is to support artists and engage visitors by showcasing outstanding works at the Brillia Gallery Shinjuku, a new residential sales hub. The competition is open to all artists, regardless of age, nationality, or professional status, whether individual or group. A total of two pieces will be awarded, each with a planned exhibition duration of approximately six months.

The Brillia Art Award Wall has been successfully held twice before, showcasing four award-winning works at the Brillia Gallery Shinjuku. Currently, the winning piece from the 2025 edition, titled “Four Doors: The Story of Encounters” by artist Kazutoshi Kawakami, will be displayed until July 2026.
