Kyoto Meetings

Since ARTCOURT Gallery opened its doors in Osaka in 2003, the gallery has focused on internationally acclaimed artists such as Hitoshi Nomura and Norio Imai who stood at the forefront of postwar Japanese art as well as Yo Akiyama and Shihoko Fukumoto who have cultivated a unique aesthetic to expand and deepen new forms of crafts, and younger artists such as Genta Ishizuka and Satoshi Kawata who have captivated audiences worldwide. We are devoted to introducing artists who create contemporary art marked by an abundance of conceptual, material and technical originality. We organize exhibitions, taking advantage of the space that is comparable in scale to a museum, coordinate exhibitions inside and outside Japan, supply public art, and strive to place works in the collections of museums and foundations. In 2018, ARTCOURT Gallery opened ACG Villa Kyoto, a new viewing room in Kyoto’s Kitashirakawa district. The gallery aims to be a base designed to convey outstanding Japanese contemporary art.
