WHAT CAFE, Warehouse TERRADA’s Art Gallery Cafe, to Hold Exhibition by WHAT CAFE in association with 4 Galleries -CROSSROADS-

WHAT CAFE, an art gallery cafe operated by Warehouse TERRADA will have “Exhibition by WHAT CAFE in association with 4 Galleries -CROSSROADS-” from March 5th, 2022 (Sat) to March 23rd (Wed).

WHAT CAFE is a space for promoting art and culture that aims to support up-and-coming artists in the industry. This art space is a combination of a gallery and a cafe, boasting a floor space of 800 square meters (or around 8,611 square feet). Visitors can enjoy meals and drinks while appreciating and purchasing artworks by up-and-coming artists proactive in the Japanese art industry.

We will hold the exhibition with four galleries, SH GALLERY, biscuit gallery, Bohemian’s Guild by Natsume-Books, and WHYNOT & Cube in Cube, who support WHAT CAFE’s activities. WHAT CAFE regards its exhibition space as CROSSROADS and plans to introduce four Tokyo based galleries exploring the boundaries of what a new gallery should be. And they are also introducing 23 artists who are pushing the envelope on their creation. Also, while exhibiting artists aged 35 or younger with their two-dimensional artworks, they will showcase each gallery’s individuality.

Mainly focusing on the storage of artworks, we have been developing a wide range of art related businesses including artwork restoration, packing, transportation, and exhibitions to pass on the passion of artists and the intrinsic value of art to future generations. Through running facilities that promote art and culture, such as the collectors’ museum of contemporary art WHAT MUSEUM, the art materials lab PIGMENT TOKYO and TERRADA ART COMPLEX, Japan’s largest gallery complex, Warehouse TERRADA has been working to turn Tennoz into a major center for the arts. Going forward, our goal is to create exhibition spaces that not only serve the main stakeholders of contemporary art such as artists, collectors and galleries, but that also open up contemporary artworks to broader fan bases and help revitalize the market for art in Japan.
