“It was a pleasure to exhibit with you, the organisation of the whole show as well as the attendance were amazing. I ended up having my hundred business cards gone in only a few hours, originals and prints sold right 5 minutes before it all ended. The best last 5 min of any show I've ever done..! Thanks again.” – Oscar Lett

"Thank you to TIAF for giving me a platform to sell "Snow Monkey, 2016 SABET" for ¥1,300,000 Tokyo International Art Fair - it was an amazing moment and I'll forever be grateful to you and your team! Can't wait till next year!" - Sabet (California).

"I had am amazing time and much success at the Tokyo International Art Fair and look forward to coming back again next year! I made a ton of connections with various galleries, collectors and spectators. I sold 6 paintings, 5 paintings were sold to collector Shinichiro Tsumuraya who bought a variety of work from many artists at the Fair. I also sold tons of postcards, buttons, stickers and smaller work to spectators and artists. I had one of the Indigo girls buy my most loved painting "Steam Punk Dreams" and was extremely happy to see this artwork make its way into a wonderful home! I made a number of connections with Saidi Hayat Women's Art, advocate, Ben Wei amazing surfboard sculptor - who I also had a lovely Art barter with sending him off with "Eugene" another painting, Muralist and Designer Thiago Taipan and designer from Brasil, and Isabella Chydenius from Scandinavia working and exhibiting in South Africa (hooking me up with a residency), and surf master Shingo Takahasi! Overall this was an amazing experience, selling, exhibiting and networking with amazing people and amazing artists all over the world. I'm very happy and feel this was worth the time I spent preparing and flying in from Bangkok, Thailand. Thanks again TIAF!" - STYLO

"I loved Japan. I loved Tokyo and I loved the Tokyo International Art Fair in Harajuku.  Luckily for me Japan loved my work. This was my first exhibition in the Far East and Tokyo was a great choice. The organisation were very professional as usual with organising and promoting the event.  So many visitors, so many buyers and so many art lovers. There was no time to rest on either day and I had loads of compliments. Moreover I sold prints and designer clothing, and have since received several enquiries about exhibiting some of my new works elsewhere in Japan. Looking forward to your next event. I’ve tried the rest and you’re the best! Thank you TEAM" - Souren Mousavi, Award Winning Artist

"Just wanted to say thank you so much for the opportunity to exhibit at the Tokyo Art Fair. I had six paintings and sold 3 of them within the first hour of the opening night!!! Very exciting. I was so thrilled to be a part of such a great event. The amount of people that came was huge and the feedback I received, the contacts that I made, not to mention new friends, has made my experience a successful, as well as truly memorable and worthwhile one. I can't thank you enough for putting on such a great show." - Joanna Blair

"Just wanted to thank you all for all of your hard work with the Tokyo International Art Fair, it was a big success. The Japanese people were really thrilled with it and were left wanting more of this type of fair in Japan! It was a great experience for me, I learned a lot and met some really wonderful people, artists and public alike.

"I travelled from Okinawa to Tokyo to participate in the International Art Fair. It was very well organised in a great venue and my stand came together effortlessly. I got to meet many new artists and ARTfans, getting a great feel for my work and professional direction. Selling a painting was a highlight for me and a real confidence boost. I've also received after-sale queries from galleries and potential clients. The whole TIAF Team worked tirelessly to help us all with anything we needed and was always met with a smile! I will certainly be joining up with your Team and Art Fairs again in the future. Many thanks for a great experience." -  Dawn, aka : Sunrise Welward Art. 

"It was like the United Nations of artists. Never have I been to such a spread of lifestyle not to mention global creators and imagineers. To zoom out and witness myself apart of the event was eye opening. Knowing that such an experience was open to me and so many others from everywhere I wasn't was a humbling eye opener. All the bridges were gapped from cultural traditions to the unquestionable similarities of our everyday lives and common thoughts. This art fair was more than art exhibition. It was a beam of light that tore down the imaginary borders of countries, hemispheres, and mindsets. To be there as a participant or audience member was one in the same. Revolutionary." - Johnny Duncan

"Thanks for providing an international platform. After receiving so many compliments and acknowledgements about me having one of the best booths and the most interesting style there from the crowd, I was indeed in awe. By the end of the show I was able to gravitate to many connections but one is the most important in me soon having my very own exhibition in Japan with Omotesando Rocket Gallery." - Justin Gilzene

"Being an Artist and having a chance to be an exhibitor in an international exhibition is an amazing experience. The chance to interact with other artists and chat to viewers about my work, not to mention the opportunity to make connections with Art dealers, Curators and Directors of galleries is second to none. Plus you never know but there is always the possibility of a sale too." - Chi Hang Wong (3 prize Best Exhibitor Award Tokyo International Art Fair 2015)

"Thanks for the opportunity to show my work in Tokyo. The show had a great turn out. I sold my painting "Homeless Guy Outside of Starbucks" 91.44cm x 152.4cm. Oil on canvas, 2015.  Also got a lot of good feedback. Thanks again." - Giovanni Scotti 

"On behalf of Rolando Sigüenza I´d like to thank you for choosing him as part of this first edition in Tokyo, there are many things to learn is this International Art journey and because of this event many personal things has been achieved, To show Mexican art among many countries and very talented painters is a great deal, hopefully Rolando Sigüenza can be part of another of your editions in an European Art Fair." - Isaac Herz, Assistant Rolando Sigüenza

"A lot of good things happened to me Tokyo International Art Fair. My business card holder was empty after an hour of the opening. My Art would have been photographed and shared many times during the show. I was lucky to meet established persons in the art scene, being interested in what I do and being very supportive on all levels. Further more, I now have the interest of two galleries regarding a long term representation and for exhibiting on the occasions of Art Basel Miami later this year. Thank you so much for a great time!" - Aurélia Marine
