"BankART Under 35" is a series of solo exhibitions presented by artists 35 and under. As of now, BankART has featured 55 individuals or artist groups through this series.
In addition to editing and publishing a small catalog as a presentational tool for the selected artists, BankART has coordinated these exhibitions with at least one specific goal: to assist the artists in selling their work, getting press reviews, or being selected for their next exhibition or project. We have also arranged the exhibitions to coincide with major arts events such as the "Yokohama Triennale" and "Tokyo Gendai" to garner and attract public attention.
As part of our ongoing relationship with these artists, the U35 catalogs will remain available at the BankART store after the exhibitions close. These catalogs become valuable resources for introducing artists to the outside world, selecting them for future exhibitions, or for placements in residencies abroad.
We look forward to receiving applications from artists who wish to step up to new heights with BankART.
