Although the effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake led the postponement of ART FAIR TOKYO, which had been established as an art event held annually during the cherry blossom season, the fair's opening is finally approaching to this coming Friday.

In spite of the postponement, ART FAIR TOKYO 2011 will take place at the Tokyo International Forum and feature 133 galleries covering a wide range of artworks from antiques, arts and crafts, nihonga, and modern art to contemporary art. In addition, we are currently planning a program of related-events including talk series and charity programs. Those events will be themed on the notion that art can contribute to the recovery efforts for a society in the midst of this crisis by functioning as an interactive platform to exchange various ideas.

Despite the current situation, ART FAIR TOKYO will continue to seek demonstrate the attractions of Tokyo, Japans capital city, where traditional and modern cultures co-exist with our theme of "open art", and also work towards the development of the Japanese art market.

We are looking forward to seeing all of you at ART FAIR TOKYO 2011, having our international vision of "Tokyo as a city within Asia"!
