Artober is Artedly's annual celebration of art, creativity, and community, held every October at Hibiya Okuroji in the heart of Tokyo. Bringing together over 40 independent artists, Artober features exhibitions, live events, workshops, and pop-ups, creating a welcoming space for artists and art lovers to connect and celebrate Tokyo's vibrant creative community.
Visitors will explore photography, graphic art, and paintings from more than 40 talented artists across two gallery spaces at Hibiya Okuroji.
Access to the galleries is completely free, except between 7-10pm on the Friday and Saturday nights, when an event ticket is required.
Join us for three evening events from Thursday to Saturday, alongside workshops, pop-ups, live painting, and an art market designed to inspire, connect, and entertain.
Hosted in partnership with JR East at Hibiya Okuroji, the festival brings art, culture, and community together beneath Tokyo's historic railway arches.
Located minutes from Tokyo Station, Japan Rail's premier gallery and event space sits directly underneath the shinkansen train lines in the hustle and bustle of central Tokyo.
Explore the four editions of Artober so far, featuring incredible artists, exhibitions, pop-ups, and events that have brought Tokyo's creative community together.
Artober is all about giving artists a welcoming and accessible space to share their work in the heart of Tokyo.
Artober is open to artists of all experience levels, including people exhibiting their work for the very first time. As long as it’s something you’ve personally created and care about, we’d love to give you the opportunity to share it with others.
We welcome all kinds of creative work, including photography, illustration, digital art, painting, sculpture, animation, custom clothing, and plenty more. One of our favourite things about Artober is seeing such a wide variety of artists and styles sharing the same space.
We also try to keep exhibiting as affordable and straightforward as possible, with transparent pricing and no commission on artwork sales. Our aim is simply to make it easier for more people to exhibit their work, meet other artists, and share what they create with a real audience.
Check out some of the great events we've held at previous Artobers, all events took place over the event space and two gallery spaces.
