ABOUT US

WHAT WE DO

At FIKA, our fervent dedication lies in empowering artists both digitally and physically. Our core missions encapsulate this commitment:

1) Empowering artists: We are dedicated to supporting artists in transforming their 3D digital projects into tangible realities, ensuring their success in the dynamic landscape of digital world.

2) YukaYugetsu Artist Retreat: Through our YukaYugetsu residence in Fukuoka, Japan, we provide a tranquil retreat space for artists, curators, performers, and art scholars. Nestled in the serene surroundings of Noko Island, this retreat offers an inspiring environment for creativity to flourish.

3) Community Engagement: We actively contribute to the local art community by organizing engaging talk and lecture events. These gatherings serve as platforms for dialogue, exchange of ideas, and fostering connections within the vibrant art ecosystem of Fukuoka. 

At FIKA, our name embodies two key ideas: Fostering Inclusive Knowledge and Art and Forging Ideas and Kaleidoscopic Art. These phrases represent our dedication to inclusivity, knowledge, and the transformative potential of contemporary art.

In Addition, The word "FIKA" also originates from Swedish, where it means to “have coffee and chat with friends.” This moment of relaxation in our daily routines can hold great significance. Like sharing tea and conversation with loved ones, art may not seem essential in everyday life, but engaging with it can offer discovering what truly matters.


 

Digital Project SUPPORT

Each artist brings their unique vision and style. We aim to foster collaborations that respect the artist’s creative vision while enhancing it throughout the process.

By honoring the artist’s intentions, we help create projects that deeply resonate with audiences and collectors alike. We also support the exhibition of AR artworks, ensuring their effective presentation in exhibitions.

Retreat for artists

FIKA is deeply committed to fostering the long-term success of artists and art thinkers. Recognizing the importance of providing artists with the time and space to rejuvenate amidst nature, we proudly offer this opportunity through our YukaYugetsu artist residency.

At FIKA, we understand that creativity flourishes when nurtured in serene surroundings. Our artist retreat in YukaYugetsu provides a haven where artists can immerse themselves in nature's beauty and artistic renewal.
