About the Art Festival
"Study: Osaka Kansai International Art Festival 2025"
To be held from April to October 2025
Study:The Osaka Kansai International Art Festival has been held three times since 2022 as a pre-event to verify the feasibility of hosting a large-scale art festival with the theme of "social impact," which refers to revitalizing the arts and culture and the economy and bringing to light social issues, in the wake of the Osaka-Kansai Expo.
Finally, next year, the large-scale art festival "Study: Osaka Kansai International Art Festival 2025" will be held not as a pre-event but as the main event, from April to October 2025 in the Kansai region, mainly in Tempozan, Osaka, in parallel with the Osaka-Kansai Expo.
