The story of the artists now, ten years after receiving the award
WHAT CAFE, an art gallery cafe operated by Warehouse TERRADA, will have WHAT CAFE EXHIBITION vol.33, “From here to eternity: where the first TERRADA ART AWARD recipients are now” from January 6th (Sat) to January 16th (Tue), 2024.
[Overview]
TERRADA ART AWARD was started in 2014 to support emerging artists. From January 10th (Wed), 2024, TERRADA ART AWARD 2023 Finalist Exhibition will be held.
WHAT CAFE, which shares the same purpose as the award, has provided opportunities for showcasing and selling artworks since its inception in 2020.
In conjunction with the finalist exhibition, WHAT CAFE will hold an exhibition related to the TERRADA ART AWARD.
This exhibition will spotlight ten artists among the 20 award recipients of TERRADA ART AWARD 2014, showcasing their significant evolution in creation and expression throughout their careers since receiving the award. The exhibit will showcase current works alongside the award-winning artworks and other pieces from that period, tracing their artistic transitions. Additionally, the exhibition will shed light on their future visions and thoughts about the award’s development. This will be achieved through questionnaires about their award-winning artworks and reflections on the exhibition ten years after receiving the award.
