Art Fair Tokyo is an annual international exhibition held at the Tokyo International Forum in Marunouchi, Tokyo. First held in 2005, this impressive exhibition is the largest in Asia and showcases the work of local and international artists, with a wide range of paintings, crafts, sculptures, and digital art. The Tokyo art scene is a vibrant and ubiquitous one, with excellent museums, art exhibitions and galleries spread throughout the city, in public spaces, and even in department stores.  Art Fair Tokyo brings together the work of a variety of artists in multiple genres and time frames into a single space for art enthusiasts.  

Open to the public, Art Fair Tokyo is a unique opportunity to interact with artists and galleries as well as view and purchase art. The Tokyo International Forum building is a stunning piece of architecture created by Rafael Vinoly and worth the visit alone to view its expansive space.
