Yokohama Civic Art Gallery, Art gallery in Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Japan
The Yokohama Civic Art Gallery occupies the renovated Iseyama Kaikan, a 1987 municipal staff welfare building in Miyazaki-chō, Nishi-ku, reopened on 10 October 2014. Its exhibition rooms host the New Art Exhibition NEXT, the annual Children's Art Exhibition, and collection shows drawn from about 1,300 works by artists active in Yokohama and Kanagawa from the postwar period to the early 1990s.
The gallery was founded in 1964 and moved twice before settling at its current Miyazaki-chō location in 2014. The relocations allowed for expanded exhibition space and improved visitor access over time.
The gallery's collection holds about 1,300 works, mainly by artists active in Yokohama and Kanagawa from the postwar years to the early 1990s. It is shown in themed collection exhibitions, such as the 2012 show on the face, which gathered 60 paintings, prints, photographs and sculptures. The annual Yokohama Children's Art Exhibition, held since 1965, displays every submitted work without screening.
The gallery occupies the renovated Iseyama Hall, a 1987 municipal staff welfare building, in Miyazaki-chō, Nishi-ku, a short walk from Sakuragichō and Isezakichō stations. The building has an elevator serving all floors, and the roughly 1,200 m² exhibition room fills with children's works each summer. No shuttle service is provided.
The gallery hosts several annual exhibitions including a showcase for emerging artists and a dedicated exhibition featuring works by local students. These programs bring established and aspiring talents together in one space.
