“TOKAS-Emerging” is a program that Tokyo Arts and Space (TOKAS) launched in 2001 with the aim to support young artists. Targeting Japanese resident artists aged 35 or younger, the program offers selected artists opportunities to hold their solo exhibition. For “TOKAS-Emerging 2026,” six artists were selected through screenings from a total of 186 applications from across Japan.
Held in two separate periods between April and June 2026, these exhibitions of works by up-and-coming artists cover a wide range of formats, including paintings, prints, video art, installations, etc.
