“T3 PHOTO ASIA 2026” is an international photography art fair aims to build Asia’s leading market for photography, held during the “T3 Photo Festival Tokyo,” one of Japan’s largest urban art photo festivals.
With the mission of “creating an art photography market where galleries and artists from across Asia gather, and leading the world’s photography culture,” by generating synergies with T3 PHOTO FESTIVAL, which drew approximately 930,000 visitors last year, and to establish itself as the most influential photography art fair in Asia.
Sales during the event period have grown year by year. The number of participating galleries has also increased, from 14 in 2024 to 19 in 2025, with 24 galleries scheduled to exhibit this year.
Internationalization is also progressing: last year, the fair invited 33 special guests from overseas, some as guest speakers including Roxana Marcoci, Curator at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and Florian Ebner, Curator at the Centre Pompidou.
Entering its third year, T3 PHOTO ASIA continues to grow as a platform connecting photography across Asia. In 2026, nearly 30 galleries and emerging spaces come together, alongside the launch of Next Edition, a new section embracing emerging galleries, independent presses, and publishers beyond the conventional gallery format. Through these new voices, we hope to expand the photography market and shape the next generation of photographic culture in Asia.
