「門司港アートワーフ」は、「東アジア文化都市２０２０北九州」の一環として行われる、北九州市門司港地区を舞台に繰り広げるアートの展覧会です。

　開港以来の歴史的建築物や美しい海峡と緑の山に囲まれた門司港で、アジアをはじめとする多様なアート作品に出会う展覧会を行います。会期中は、招待、公募、大学参加など、さまざまな形でアーティストが集い、制作し、作品を展示し、「芸術の波止場」を目指します。また、音楽を楽しむ時間やアートフリマなどの催しも計画しています。

　「門司港アートワーフ」を通じて、多くのみなさまに、アートの魅力やアーティストが集う門司港を感じていただきたいと思っています。

　あわせて、世界史に残るであろうパンデミックに見舞われ、不自由や不安を感じる日常の中で、芸術の楽しさに触れ、喜びを体験し、心の豊かさを涵養する機会になればと願っています。

＜Overview of Mojiko Art Wharf＞

“Mojiko Art Wharf” is an art exhibition held in the Mojiko District of Kitakyushu City as a part of the “Culture City of East Asia 2020 Kitakyushu” program.

The exhibition is held in Mojiko against the backdrop of historical buildings from the time the port was opened, surrounded by beautiful water and green mountains, and offers visitors the opportunity to see diverse works of art throughout Asia and other areas. During the exhibition period, universities and artists are invited or respond to a public call to gather in Mojiko district to create and display their artworks with the goal of forming Art Wharf. There are also plans for music hours, an art flea market, and other events.

We hope to offer this opportunity for as many people as possible to see Mojiko and wonderful works of art by talented artists and feel passion for art through Mojiko Art Wharf.

We also hope that this will be an opportunity to feel and experience joy through art and foster richness of spirit during this time of discomfort and anxiety caused by the pandemic that will go down in world history.
