#### 1st Opening Party: Jun 4 (Thurs), 5:30 pm-7:30 pm
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the JCAT NY Chelsea Exhibition 2026 transforms Chelsea into an interactive experience featuring over 80 artists and 100+ works inspired by the beauty of imperfection, silence, emptiness, and time.
Enjoy live artist performances, artist talks, workshops, and hands-on experiences using Japan’s award-winning creative tool “Kitpas.”
Guests are invited not only to observe art, but to become part of it.
This year also marks a new direction:
“From Preservation to Regeneration.”
Traditional Japanese craftsmanship—including Arita porcelain, Nabeno handmade washi paper, Mizuhiki knotting, Nishijin textiles, Minoware ceramics, Toyohashi brushes, and Indigo dyeing—is reimagined through contemporary art, transforming tradition into a living language for the future.
More than an exhibition, WABI-SABI is a place where art connects people, cultures, generations, and ideas beyond borders.
This is the future of cultural connection through art.
