Exhibition Brochure

Overview

Ota Photo Sketch is a photo exhibition on the theme of “Rediscovering Ota City through the camera lens from new perspectives.” Photographs received from applicants between August 18 and September 29, together with works by guest artists, are exhibited at Ota City Art Museum and Library.

The theme of the exhibition of works by the general public is “Hands and Feet.” Photographs feature hands and feet having fun, in favorite places, doing normal activities, engaged in work they are proud of, with people that are dear…. Together, these photos create a vivid image of Ota City. To find the many stories that are unfolding right now in our city, we are exhibiting the photos of life in Ota that Ota residents themselves have sent us.

In our guest artist KIKI’s exhibition, find images shot in Ota last year and with new works created for this event.
