AND COLLECTION Contemporary Art will host
the official exhibition "A Book Arts Revolution",
in conjunction with the international program "Women to Watch"
run by the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA),
based in Washington D.C., USA,
under the patronage of the NMWA Japan Committee.

This exhibition is part of an official program
for NMWA's 40th anniversary in 2027,
and aims to discover and introduce female artists
through an international network of 17 participating regions.
This is Japan's second participation,
following the previous exhibition, and will feature
the works of five female contemporary artists selected as Japanese candidates
by Yukie Kamiya, Chief Curator of the National Art Center, Tokyo.

The common international theme is "A Book Arts Revolution".
This will be an opportunity to widely introduce the creativity and potential of female artists
through expressions that diversely reflect contemporary society.

After this exhibition, in early April 2026,
one of the five exhibiting artists will be selected as the Japanese representative
to participate in the 8th "Women to Watch" exhibition,
scheduled to be held in the United States in 2027.

This will be a valuable opportunity to experience
the expressions of Japanese female artists within an international initiative.
We hope you will visit the exhibition.
