The “Nishinomiya Art Seed” is an open call exhibition for artists and works related to Nishinomiya. Regardless of the genre of the work or the artist’s experience and background, it is an opportunity for artists with fresh sensibilities who are currently active and whose future achievements are anticipated to present their works in a spacious environment. This third edition will be held at the Nishinomiya City Civic Gallery and will feature five participating artists. Additionally, this exhibition is part of the “Nishinomiya City 100th Anniversary Project” and “2025 Nishinomiya Gallery Walk”. Please enjoy this exhibition, born from connections made in Nishinomiya, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
