NY Chealsea Exhibition

We are planning a group exhibition in New York in July 2023.

JCAT NY

With the spirit of “Art for Everyone,” JCAT, short for Japanese Contemporary Artists Team, was established under the mission to achieve what a single soul of Japanese artist cannot achieve as a team.

Swimmy, the story by Leo Lionni encapsulates what we can achieve as a team. Swimmy, a lone fish, devises a plan to form the shape of a large fish along with a school of little red fish so they can swim through the sea freely and fearlessly. The sea for us to swim through is the bigger world that is out there. The limited potential of an individual grows into boundless possibilities once it starts to join forces with each other.

Carrying on the philosophy of its predecessor Ouch Gallery, ran by the art director ARISA from 2008 through 2018, JCAT sets its sight on shifting people’s understanding of art from something special to the essence of the lives of all mankind by redefining the significance of art, thus ultimately bringing change to the art scene in Japan. Today, over 200 artists are taking a step at a time with JCAT.

 JCAT's New Style: "JCAT x SDGs"

JCAT's New Style: "JCAT x SDGs" "Artists are mentors to people around the world."

In 2023, JCAT actively proposes collaborations between society, companies, and artists through the introduction of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). The challenge of SDGs is to have artists take the lead in understanding and taking sustainable actions, making it relatable and creating a positive environment for individuals, society, and the planet. JCAT aims to contribute to society's development, considering the Earth and nature, and as a provider of a "safe and secure space," it will present new projects.

How Much Art Can Do

Do you know how much art can do to our lives?

Every behavior you take on comes with a state of mind that forms it.
Before you take any kind of action, your heart has already decided where to head. If your heart is not at ease or your life is getting forced to move toward unwanted direction, you are likely to find yourself down the road you never wished to take.

In such times, your encounter with art will awaken you to the importance of always being true to yourself in your journey. Though invisible, power of art assists you to return to your natural and genuine self.

In short, art is the prescriptions for leading a life with a enriched heart.
