This year's edition of the Tokyo International Art Fair will feature paintings, sculpture, photographic illustrations, jewelry and a "sumo-size" book, with the work coming courtesy of hundreds of artists from 30 different countries, fair organizer Joelle Dinnage tells The Japan Times.
The festival, now in its fourth year, is run by the Global Art Agency, which organizes art fairs in cities around the world including Barcelona, Miami and Amsterdam.
"Almost 10,000 people visited the event last year, connections were made, and everyone was extremely satisfied," Dinnage says, summing up the 2017 edition held near Shibuya Station. The fair has hopped to different venues and neighborhoods in the capital each year — from Harajuku to Omotesando and then Shibuya — and this year's festivities will once again get a new look when they take place at Bellesalle Roppongi on the weekend of May 25.
