Design Festa is held twice a year in spring and autumn at Tokyo Big Sight, the biggest exhibition space in Japan, and the next event, Design Festa vol.18, takes place on November 15th and 16th.

What is Design Festa Gallery?

Design Festa Gallery is situated in Harajuku, Tokyo, and is open year-round, except on the Design Festa event weekends. Instantly recognizable, the stunning Gallery building is in itself a work of art, thanks to the contributions of artists to the exterior of the building since the Gallery opened in 1997. The interior features exhibition spaces of various sizes where artists can exhibit their work and network in a unique and stimulating creative environment. Entrance to the Gallery is free. This building also houses the Design Festa Office on the third floor.
