    PROFILE

    When talking about "TAG STÅ," the gallery is inextricably linked to the coffee. We hold about 30 solo exhibitions and events a year. The gallery is not a rental space but instead exhibits only the works of well-curated and selected artists. Unlike most galleries, the artists are not always in the gallery.
    Many experiences and discoveries can only be made alone, such as stopping suddenly or changing your plans, with the senses sharpened. That's the kind of place we sometimes want to be.
    The TAG STÅ GALLERY has exhibited Japanese and foreign artworks and held talk events, reception parties, and sometimes live performances. We also carry art events in Japan and abroad under the name of "TAGSTÅ ART SHOW" and lead the street art scene in Fukuoka and Asia.
