Apas Port Co., Ltd. announced that Harvest Hall, its art platform launched in beta on September 1, 2026, has welcomed over 100 participating artists.

Harvest Hall brings together official artist profiles, exhibition information, and stories behind creative work in one place. It helps audiences discover artists, visit exhibitions, and stay connected beyond their initial encounters.

Every day, countless pieces of information flow through social media, and artists’ exhibition announcements, creative backgrounds, and personal stories gradually get buried over time. Even when visitors encounter artworks that move them at an exhibition, opportunities to continue following the artist’s activities or share their appreciation directly with the artist remain limited.

Harvest Hall is a platform designed to create new connections between artists and audiences who have yet to discover one another, and to help those relationships grow over time.

Bringing greater visibility to exhibitions across Japan, beyond the major shows.

Creating new opportunities for artists to connect with audiences who have yet to discover their work.

Turning encounters at exhibitions into meaningful, lasting relationships.

Centered around a calendar that brings exhibition information together in one place, Harvest Hall provides features that connect artists and audiences through ongoing communication and shared experiences.

Profile — Discover Artists

A centralized page featuring artist biographies, artworks, and exhibition information.

Calendar — Explore Exhibitions

A shared exhibition calendar helping audiences discover artists and exhibitions across Japan.

KANDO — Share Your Appreciation

A feature enabling audiences to express their appreciation and encouragement directly to artists.

MyStudio — Stay Connected

A subscription service featuring creative notes, studio updates, and behind-the-scenes stories, scheduled for release in late October.

Harvest Hall launched its beta version on September 1, 2026, and welcomed over 100 participating artists in approximately 50 days.

Our vision is to create a space where each artist’s creative journey can be documented and shared, meaningful connections with audiences can grow over time, and the encouragement and support they receive can ultimately contribute to their continued creative endeavors.

Reaching 100 artists is not a final destination, but an important early milestone in building a network that makes this vision possible.

Participation in Harvest Hall is invitation-only, with artists joining through invitations from the platform’s team as well as introductions from existing participating artists.

Our dedicated Artist Relations team, consisting of editors and curators, supports artists in creating official profiles, sharing exhibition information, and developing lasting relationships with their audiences.

As artists continue creating and sharing their work, more people discover and connect with their creative journeys.

The encouragement and support of audiences flow back to artists, helping fuel new works and creative endeavors. These, in turn, create opportunities for artists to connect with even more people.

By listening to the voices of both artists and audiences, Harvest Hall aims to nurture this ongoing cycle of creativity, connection, and support.

From viewing art to discovering the artist behind it.

From discovery to experiencing their work in person.

From a single encounter to becoming a lasting supporter.

Our ambition is to grow beyond a platform that connects artists and audiences into a thriving art ecosystem where digital and physical experiences come together, creating new opportunities for artistic expression and meaningful engagement.
