“Friends of Jinny” Bringing Global Illustrators Together in Shibuya

Apr 18, 2026 at 6:00pm ~ May 17, 2026 at 9:00pm

Jinny Street Gallery, presents a new art project titled “Friends of Jinny” from April 18 to May 17.

The project connects international illustrators with members of the local community. Overseas artists are paired with residents and shop owners from the neighborhood of Jingumae 2-chome. Through sharing personal stories and moments from their daily lives, each pair collaborate to create various works of art.

The completed works will be exhibited in the unique outdoor Jinny Street Gallery setting, using streetlight display cases, blending into the neighborhood landscape and adding color to the streets of Jingumae.

Unlike conventional indoor galleries, Jinny Street Gallery functions as an open, public art space
integrated into the neighborhood. It actively engages with the local community and regularly
organizes projects that celebrate and involve local residents.

There will be an opening reception for the event at the art bar, NININI·NI on April 18.
