ART OSAKA has become a highly reputed art fair where you can see and buy good-quality art pieces by internationally-establised artists to new artists with bright future. This success has come from the qualified galleries who have put importance on the social activities:introducing good-qualities arts to the public, not only for their business.

47 galleries are selected not only from Japan but also from Asia (29 from Kansai area, 13 from Tokyo, 2 from Nagoya and 3 from abroad) for ART OSAKA 2010. This year highlights a new project: the "Solo Exhibition", and 23 exhibiting galleries would like to show their artists in a one-person show format. This program will give a strong impression of solo exhibited artist as well as add an unique face to the fair's personality. Moreover, 24 galleries will show their several artists together in the “General Exhibition” providing lots of substantial contents through gallery director’s eyes. We expect ART OSAKA 2010 will grow an even stronger exhibition content than before and will continue to grow as a remarkable platform for contemporary art in Asia. Please come to "ART OSAKA 2010" and feel the real art with your all sense. Then you'll discover your favorite one！
