WHAT CAFE to Host Exhibition Featuring “Paper” Starting May 3rd (Sat)

Limited to four days only—An art market where artworks can be purchased and taken home on the spot

WHAT CAFE, an art gallery cafe operated by Warehouse TERRADA, will host the exhibition “WHAT CAFE EXHIBITION vol. 41: ON PAPER: Art and Print Market” from May 3rd (Sat) to May 6th (Tue), 2025, in collaboration with eight domestic galleries actively supporting emerging artists.

In this exhibition, a diverse selection of works on paper, including drawings, paintings, prints, and photographs, will be brought together. Paper, as one of the most familiar materials for artists and a source of inspiration, will be explored for its diverse expressive possibilities. The venue will feature not only art pieces but also self-produced publications such as zines, blending an art exhibition with a marketplace where everything is available for purchase and immediate take-home. Visitors will have the opportunity to appreciate the diversity of artistic expression made possible through paper.
