The Foreign Artists Exhibition - 30th Anniversary Show – Now Accepting Applications!
外国人芸術作品展 ‒ 30周年 - 作品募集中!
That's right, we are about to complete our third decade of exhibitions, held with the kind support of
NIC, and are looking forward to another memorable event (this year, from 3 to 8 November). The
Central Japan International Society (CJIS) has been organizing this exhibition annually since 1986 and,
with some of the original founding artists still participating, have established a strong tradition of
displaying a wide range of works by foreign artists living in the Chubu Region for local citizens to
enjoy. This year, having reached FAE 30 we are determined to go all out for an even better show. To
this end we extend a warm welcome to any and all foreign artists in the region to apply for
participation (No need to apply if you've already taken part in earlier FAEs, you'll be contacted
automatically). If you paint, draw, print, sculpt, pot, or shoot (photos!), or do any other fine artwork,
including computer graphics, why not take the opportunity to show others what you can do.
Application forms and detailed guidelines are available from the FAE website at
www.nic-nagoya.or.jp/fae; or e-mail [email protected], fax (052) 774 0483, or call 090 1275
