A lot of visitors attended Art Fair Kyoto which is held for second time and closed over without misadventure.
I owe my success entirely all interested parties.
I would like to take advantage of this opportunity to thank you all for your kindly support and cooperation.
Art Fair Kyoto had held as a hotel type art fair which consists of 1 floor and 35 rooms last year, and it archieves to grow very much at second year.
The admission deposit system which is introduced tentatively has obtained not only many responses but also effects of sales, so that it seems to permeate already in this time.
In general, Kyoto gets the impression as a creation field or classic, traditional art.
So far one of the greatest task for Kyoto is how to come into existence and development as a market.
It is feared against Japanese national power through the Great East Japan Earthquake,
Our art fair has shown that Western Japan, especially Kyoto is competitive place against Tokyo for art industry where has international brand proven history.
More than anything else, all of people who had experienced this art fair at the scene should have an opportunity to think about Kyoto, art market or art trade.
Executive committee will take a step forward to accumulate new history again.
I report the result simply this time.
Please see below.
