Tokyo Weekender
Founded in 1970, Tokyo Weekender is Japan’s longest-running English-language lifestyle magazine. For more than 50 years, it has shared stories about the people, places, art, and culture that make life in Japan so interesting.
You can read Tokyo Weekender online or pick up the magazine at venues around Tokyo, including embassies, hotels, restaurants, bookstores, and tourist information centres.
We’re delighted to be working together again at Artober. Free copies of the magazine will be handed out during the evening, so please pick one up and take it home!
The Embassy of El Salvador
We’d like to thank El Salvador’s Ambassador Diego Dalton and his team for supporting Artober and Artedly since the project began. We’re grateful to work with a country that places such importance on art and the people who create it.
Through this partnership, we’ve been able to share artwork by Tokyo-based artists in El Salvador and welcome Salvadoran artists here in Tokyo. It’s been a pleasure to get to know each other through these exchanges and share the work with new audiences.
We’re delighted that Ambassador Dalton and his team will be joining us in person on Saturday evening, and we look forward to welcoming them back to Artober!
Artwork from El Salvador
Erick Chévez
We're pleased to welcome Erick Chévez, a photographer visiting from El Salvador. His photography will be on display throughout Artober, and we're proud to share his work with visitors here in Tokyo. Erick is a co-founder of The Lab Studio, a design firm that works with some of the biggest names in global tech and consults on design for pre-seed startups worldwide.
Visit Erick’s Website ↗Male Cuellar
We’ll also be sharing artwork by Male Cuellar. Although she won’t be joining us in person this year, we’ve been lucky enough to welcome her to Tokyo in the past and have stayed connected through her work.
If you’ve browsed this year’s Artober website, you’ve already had a glimpse of her art! We’re delighted that her artwork forms the visual theme for Artober 2026.
Visit Male’s Website ↗There’s Art to Explore Too!
This event is part of Artober, so your ticket also includes access to our two gallery spaces, just opposite the event space. Explore exhibitions from more than 40 artists, with photography, illustration, painting, and plenty more to discover.
An event ticket is required to enter both the galleries and event space on Saturday from 7–10pm. If you’d like to visit earlier, both are free to explore during the day from 12pm.
