Located in Tennoz, Tokyo, Warehouse TERRADA was established in 1950. In addition to our artwork storage service launched in 1975, we have gone on to develop a wide variety of art-related businesses, ranging from artwork conservation, packing, transportation and exhibition services to operating art facilities and supporting young artists in line with our guiding principle of conveying the passion of artists and the intrinsic value of art to future generations. In recent years, the company has been offering services to support the vitalization of the art market through operating art and culture dissemination facilities such as the contemporary art collectors’ museum WHAT MUSEUM, the art gallery cafe WHAT CAFE, the art materials lab PIGMENT TOKYO, and TERRADA ART COMPLEX, Japan’s largest gallery complex.
TERRADA ART AWARD is a contemporary art award designed to support young artists. To discover artists who can play an active role on the world stage, we have selected a jury with an international perspective and a deep understanding of contemporary art. Applicants will undergo a first-round screening period in which their portfolios will be reviewed. Then, exhibition plans and portfolios will be evaluated during the final-round screening, culminating in selecting five finalists. Each finalist will receive prize money of 3,000,000 yen to produce the actual artworks based on the exhibition plans they submitted in the final-round screening. The finished works will then be unveiled at TERRADA ART AWARD 2023 Finalist Exhibition.
