Tokyo is preparing to host Art Fair Tokyo once again, which will bring together 139 Japanese and international galleries from March 6 to 9, 2025. This 19th edition has a special significance: it marks the event's 20th anniversary and promises to be richer than ever, with expanded exhibition spaces and an even more diverse program.
Art Fair Tokyo 2025: an anniversary edition full of promise
Held in the prestigious setting of the Tokyo International Forum, the fair offers a journey through eras and styles, blending ancient and contemporary art, Japanese traditions, and international avant-gardes. With its three sections – Gallery, Crossing, and Projects – it showcases both established artists and emerging talents. A must-attend event for collectors, curators, and art enthusiasts.
More space, more encounters
This year, galleries will have a larger exhibition space, allowing for bolder displays and enhanced interaction with the public. Far from being a mere trade fair, Art Fair Tokyo asserts its role as a place of exchange, where art is experienced and shared, sparking emotions and reflection.
Prestigious galleries such as Perrotin Tokyo, Kaikai Kiki Gallery, and ShugoArts will be featured alongside emerging galleries from Seoul, Paris, and New York. This blend of influences reflects the diversity of the art market while highlighting the exacting standards and refinement of the Japanese art scene.
Between know-how and innovation
The 2025 edition also shines a spotlight on fine crafts, with galleries dedicated to ceramics, textiles, and traditional skills. Far from being stuck in the past, these practices engage with contemporary and technological approaches, demonstrating that tradition and innovation often go hand in hand.
The Projects section also promises some great surprises with immersive installations, performances and experimental creations, offering visitors a more sensory and interactive experience.
An event that transcends the walls of the fair
The entire city vibrates to the rhythm of the event, from the galleries of Ginza to the museums of Roppongi. Tokyo is an open-air art scene, where art is discovered as much in institutions as in the energy of the neighborhoods.
With this anniversary edition, Art Fair Tokyo 19 promises a total immersion in contemporary creativity. An event not to be missed to discover the richness and vitality of the Japanese and international art scene.
