Joshibi Art Gallery is a gallery established in Shanghai by Japan’s Joshibi University of Art and Design. Focusing on Joshibi art graduates, the gallery is a space to present works by the next-generation of young artists as well as by the faculty of the university. The gallery was established in 2012, on the 40th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan.
China is a civilization that has grown and expanded by incorporating cultures from various regions and peoples. In such a plural and accepting context in China, the Joshibi University of Art and Design hopes not only to contribute to cultural exchanges between the two countries but also to gain a foothold in Shanghai, a major metropolis of culture and communications in East Asia, further developing artistic activities which can deepen ties with local residents.
