Yoshimi Arts will mark its 5th anniversary on August 27th.
Thanks to your warm support and continued loyalty, we have managed to reach this significant milestone.
To commemorate this special occasion, we present "5th Anniversary Festival !!" This exhibition is organized by Miki Sato, the first artist to hold a solo show at our gallery.
Each of our affiliated artists will present works under the shared theme of "Celebration" ("Iwai" in Japanese). We look forward to seeing you on this momentous occasion.

Yoshimi Arts

This year Yoshimi Arts will celebrate its 5th anniversary. We would like to honor this occasion by reviewing the past 5 years of the gallery's progress. It is also an opportunity to express our aspirations for any future developments.
The Japanese word for "celebration" is "iwau". The Chinese character "祝" can be used to express the word which is a paronym of "忌" and "斎", that have connotations pertaining to auspicious occasions and epidemic prevention. The two Chinese characters that make up the word "Yoshimi" mean "good" (吉) and "beautiful" (美), and the selection of artists will gather in honor of the 5th year anniversary of Yoshimi Arts that embraces these majestic traits.
We are always in pursuit of individual expression. At this exhibition, we aim to depict a new dimension of the world that can be drawn from the word "celebration" to commemorate the gallery who has been creating and transmitting new values.
We hope that these constant pursuits will be felt throughout the course of the exhibition.
