Implemented since the establishment of Tokyo Arts and Space (TOKAS) in 2001 in accordance with the institution’s aim to support young artists, "TOKAS-Emerging" is a program that has been targeting Japanese resident artists aged 35 or younger, and offering selected artists opportunities to exhibit their works.
"TOKAS-Emerging 2025" features four artists that were chosen through screenings from a total of 154 applications from across Japan. Taking place from April to May 2025, these exhibitions of works by up-and-coming artists cover a wide range of formats, including two and three-dimensional artworks, video art, installations, etc. The exhibiting artists will also appear in talk sessions together with jury members.
Since 2006, Tokyo Arts and Space (TOKAS) has been implementing the “Creator-in-Residence” residency program, which offers opportunities for artists active in various disciplines to stay and create works in Tokyo or at various overseas destinations.
In this exhibition, 14 artists who participated in our residency program present the art that emerged from ideas and insights deepened through their research.
