The Introduction of Creative Works

The Exhibition for the Young Artists in Oita

The Festival of the 10th Commemoration of the Art "The Exhibition for the Young Artists in Oita" (sponsored by Oita Godo Newspaper) was held from 5th to 9th in November 2008 in the Oita City Prefectural Art Assembly Hall.

The world of art in Oita Prefecture was developed according to different expressions. This particular exhibition kept the focus on those highly-motivated, passionate young artists in their twenties and thirties who do not usually hold their own exhibitions. These young artists' works and activities were being introduced in the exhibition.

There were eleven young artists. Their art works were expressed in various forms, such as paintings, 3-D arts, and other objects of art. They are all the artists who have a bright future. Currently, how modern young people can produce creative works while facing the period and the changes.

Comments: Art is free expression of creative spirits. If Oita Prefecture encourages the young artists to express themselves and provides the place for them to actualize themselves (like this exhibition), it would be attractive for foreigners to visit Oita Prefecture.
