The 53rd All Kansai Arts Exhibition

Osaka Municipal Museum of Art

This event has ended.

The All Kansai Arts Exhibition was founded in 1941 and featured juried works from the public. The exhibition was formerly called the "Osaka City Exhibition" and featured Japanese painting, oil painting, sculpture and crafts. In 1949, calligraphy was added as a new category and thus the exhibition was renamed the "Kansai Total Arts Exhibition". The name "All Kansai Arts Exhibition" came about in 1972. Since then, the annual show has covered five art categories and has featured works by famous artists that represent the Kansai region.
