About YOKOHAMA CIVIC ART GALLERY AZAMINO

Activities

“Community Development through Art. Yokohama Style.”

Yokohama Civic Art Gallery Azamino introduces new trends in creative expression that transcend the conventional genre boundaries in the arts. It nurtures a broad spectrum of expressive activities filled to the brim with creativity. Our goal is to create a forum for creative activities where individuals of all ages can interact and share their work. In addition to managing our galleries and atelier for use by all, we hold three special exhibitions and a rich variety of classes and concerts every year.
