Would love to get together with artists in Tokyo for gallery exhibits and collaborative works.

If you're looking for gallery collabs, the area around Asakusa has a few artist-run spaces that fly under the radar. There's a small gallery called Tsubaki that does themed group shows every couple months and the owner is pretty open to letting artists curate their own sections. The rent for a weekend slot runs about 15,000 yen and they don't take a commission on sales, which is rare for that neighborhood.

imo the shimokitazawa scene is worth a look for collabs, way more DIY than the galleries near omotesando. there's a spot called gallery 2d that does these rotating residency slots where u can use the space for a month and invite other artists in, rent's like 30k yen a month if u split it. also worth wandering down shotengai alley near the station, there's a few storefronts that double as impromptu exhibit spaces on weekends

check out the tokyo art scene on the ground floor of the taitō ward, near minowa station. the taitō art museum does open calls for their gallery space a couple times a year, and the area's full of small ateliers that rent out by the month. i've seen good collabs happen at the kuramae art complex too, super cheap space if you're splitting it with a few people

i'd actually look into the setagaya area, not as hyped as shimokita or nakameguro but there's a solid network of small galleries tucked into the residential streets near sangenjaya station. there's a place called gallery kissa that runs on a membership model where you can book the space for a few days at a time for like 5000 yen a day, and they're pretty loose about collab setups as long as you're not damaging the tatami. also the setagaya art museum has a residency program that's less competitive than the bigger ones, they give you a small studio for like 3 months and you can bring in guest artists to work with you

fwiw the kichijoji area has a pretty solid network of small gallery spaces that are open to collabs. there's a spot called gallery kobo that does rotating exhibits and the owner is super chill about letting artists use the back room for workshops or joint projects. also the musashino city art museum does a biannual open call for group shows, deadline's usually in march and september
