Tokyo International Art Fair 2026
Nov 27, 2026 – Nov 28, 2026

Tokyo, Japan

The Tokyo International Art Fair 2026 marks the ninth edition of an event that has steadily established itself as a vibrant meeting point for contemporary and modern art in Japan. Taking place on November 27 and 28, 2026, at the Belle Salle Roppongi, the fair unfolds in one of Tokyo’s most dynamic cultural districts, surrounded by renowned institutions and an ever-evolving creative scene. Organized by the Sakura Group, this new edition signals an ambitious step forward, reaffirming Tokyo’s role as a global crossroads for artistic exchange.

Set in the heart of Roppongi, an area long associated with international culture and cutting-edge exhibitions, the fair brings together around 100 artists representing more than 40 countries. Under one roof, visitors encounter a wide spectrum of artistic practices, from painting and sculpture to photography, illustration, jewelry, and multimedia works. This diversity reflects both the breadth of today’s art world and the fair’s commitment to presenting voices from across continents, traditions, and generations.

What distinguishes the Tokyo International Art Fair is its emphasis on direct connection. Artists travel from Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and beyond to present their work in person, offering collectors and enthusiasts the rare opportunity to engage directly with the creators. This face-to-face exchange restores a sense of immediacy and authenticity to the art-buying experience, echoing the longstanding tradition of artists and patrons meeting in shared spaces of discovery.

Beyond the exhibition booths, TIAF26 embraces the atmosphere of a cultural festival. Over the course of the weekend, the fair is animated by music, live performances, and informal gatherings that extend into its well-known after-hours events. These moments encourage dialogue, collaboration, and lasting relationships between artists, collectors, and the wider public.

After eight successful editions, the ninth Tokyo International Art Fair arrives with renewed energy and vision. By combining international reach with Tokyo’s distinctive cultural rhythm, TIAF26 offers an immersive experience that celebrates art not only as an object to be acquired, but as a shared language that brings people together across borders.
