Asia’s largest art event is back! Bringing together thousands of artists from all over Japan, Design Festa has become the premier destination for those interested in creativity and artistic expression.
Can’t make it to the spring edition of Design Festa? Design Festa is a biannual event, held once in the spring and once in the fall, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for future installments.
What is Design Festa?
Founded in 1994, Design Festa started out as a small gathering of artists hoping to create a space where anyone could express themselves, regardless of genre, profession, age, gender, or nationality. Design Festa usually sees more than 15,000 artists exhibiting over the course of two days.
What can I see and do?
This installment of Design Festa will also feature live painting artists, creating artworks on huge 8m x 3.5m canvases before your very eyes over the course of the two-day event. Afterwards, check out the expanded Workshop Area, where you can create your own one-of-a-kind artwork.
If you need a break, grab a quick bite to eat at one of the food trucks or cafes in the Food Area, then check out the Performance Area and Show Stage to see everything from fashion shows to live dance and music performances.
