Yanbaru Art Festival 2024
An exchange event that connects the charms of Yanbaru and art, with the aim of becoming a source of new art.
This year’s theme is “karii nu gen.”
We aim to make “karii”, which means good luck in the Okinawan dialect, and “Yanbaru”, the rich natural origin of Okinawa’s water source, become sources of new art.
In addition to exhibiting artists’ works, you can also enjoy exhibitions and sales of Okinawan crafts, workshops, and food.
