Minato no Art is an art event held in various locations throughout Yokohama, including public and commercial facilities, as well as shopping streets. This event has provided a platform for various artists and galleries to showcase their work and engage with new communities. Many artists who started their careers at this event are now actively working in the art scene.
The goal of Minato no Art is to introduce the local art scene of Yokohama and to help people feel the charm of the city through art. The event is planned and managed with this vision in mind.
Minato no Art has been actively held in public spaces to communicate that art is an accessible and integral part of daily life for the citizens of Yokohama. The upcoming exhibition, Minato no Art +, will be held at the Yokohama City Hall atrium and will feature works by sculptor Taiki Kusakabe’s project “KU KAN” and public artist WA!moto. “Motoka Watanabe.” Additionally, a workshop themed around Tanabata will be conducted.
The large-scale installations by the two featured artists will provide new perspectives and inspiration for the audience, filling the expansive space with art. The weekend workshops by three different artists will offer participants the chance to engage with art directly, experiencing deep immersion through creativity and tactile stimulation. Experiencing the essence of Minato no Art in one space will allow visitors to feel the power of art more profoundly.
Minato no Art will continue to promote the local art scene of Yokohama and convey the charm of this port city.
