Open Art Fair
Toward a More Open and Inclusive Hotel Art Fair
We are pleased to announce that KOBE ART MARCHÉ 2026 will be held over three days from Friday, May 22 to Sunday, May 24, 2026, at the Kobe Meriken Park Oriental Hotel.
Now in its 17th edition, KOBE ART MARCHÉ has grown as a hotel art fair rooted in the international port city of Kobe—surrounded by both sea and mountains—and has continued to present contemporary art in a uniquely intimate setting.
As we further deepen our connection with the city of Kobe, we also strive to create a more open and welcoming art fair—one that invites visitors who may not yet be familiar with art to casually stop by and enjoy the experience.
Against the backdrop of Kobe’s beautiful harbor scenery, we hope to offer a special and personal environment unique to hotel-based fairs, allowing guests to experience art up close and discover new encounters and interactions throughout these three days.
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you to KOBE ART MARCHÉ 2026.
