The art festival “Kizugawa Art 2025” will be held in Kizugawa City, Kyoto Prefecture. This year marks the 9th edition, participating in the “Keihanna Expo” and displaying works outside the city. Under the theme “Door,” 16 works by 15 contemporary artists, created from their unique perspectives, will appear throughout the city. Works include installations, videos, murals, paintings, three-dimensional pieces, and sculptures. The festival proposes connecting “people, things, culture, history, and exchange” with the cutting-edge “technology,” “science,” and ‘education’ characteristic of the Science City through art. For example, see for yourself how contemporary art harmonizes with the Japanese garden “Suikeien” within Keihanna Commemorative Park
