MEET YOUR ART FESTIVAL is a cross-disciplinary art festival that unfolds diverse programs such as art exhibitions, art fairs, live performances, and markets, bringing together art as the central focus and adjacent cultures to create opportunities for new creativity and to bring new discoveries and insights to visitors.
Our aim is to create a large-scale and innovative art festival starting in Tokyo, showcasing diverse talents and expressions from both Japan and abroad through a perspective unique to this place and this era. To achieve this, we will focus on collaboration with the next generation of artists, curators, directors, and partners from various fields who will lead the future of culture and art.
This year, we will focus on the signs of our time that emerge beyond rediscovery. Multiple movements such as backlash, countercurrents, and restructuring that are often overlooked in our ever-accelerating society. And within these fluctuations, sensibilities and impulses that have yet to be named emerge. By gathering these signs of culture and bringing them together, we will attempt to raise the banner of culture for Miraie.
It also means that, using the perspectives and sensibilities that arise in this place and in this era as clues, diverse expressions and values intersect, reweaving relationships and opening up the starting point for a new movement.
MEET YOUR ART FESTIVAL 2026 aims to be a platform for cultural practices toward the future, while witnessing these changes firsthand.
