Gallery Collaborations

KOKI ARTS opened in 2012 in the Bakurocho area of Tokyo. Directed by a New York City native of Japanese nationality, the gallery represents both Japanese and American artists. Aside from introducing US artists to Japan and vice versa, KOKI ARTS focuses on exhibiting artists at all stages of their careers and actively participates in international art fairs.

Unit 17 opened in January 2017. The gallery focuses on developing artist-driven and curated group exhibitions by Canadian as well as international artists to fulfill the vision of specific artistic or curatorial projects, renegotiating influences of the market and commercial pressures within gallery systems. From 2017-2023 the gallery operated in a 1930s storefront on the west side of the Vancouver. The overall space included a garden, artist studios, kitchens, an outdoor shower, and the gallery which was handed over to a 50-year old artist-run-centre, UNIT/PITT Projects. In 2024, Unit 17 re-opened in downtown Vancouver to engage with the city's dense core as well as key institutional collaborators.
