Contemporary Cultural Space 'SIGNAL GALLERY' to Open in Fukuoka on June 4, 2026

Fukuoka Insider Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture; CEO: Ricky Ngai) is set to open 'SIGNAL GALLERY,' a new contemporary cultural space that bridges art, music, and visual culture, in Imaizumi, Fukuoka, on June 4, 2026. The opening event will feature 'Takeru Amano Exhibition “VENUS IN FUKUOKA,”' marking the start of a new hub for cultural dissemination from Fukuoka to the world.

SIGNAL GALLERY is a Fukuoka-based contemporary cultural space with the concept of 'Art × Music × Culture.' It was founded by Ricky Ngai, an entrepreneur who moved from Hong Kong to Fukuoka in 2023. Leveraging his experience in promoting Fukuoka's appeal through tourism and digital media, he now aims to connect Fukuoka with the global creative community through art.

Fukuoka is currently transforming into a city where diverse cultures intersect, including startups, tourism, inbound travel, and international exchange. However, opportunities for local artists to be introduced abroad and entry points for international creators to access the Japanese market remain limited. SIGNAL GALLERY is born as a 'cultural gateway' to expand these entry points, connecting local and global, Fukuoka and Asia. It aims to be a place where contemporary creators gather to foster new communities and culture, spanning art exhibitions, music, live performances, video, and VJ culture.

To commemorate the opening, the gallery will host Takeru Amano's solo exhibition 'VENUS IN FUKUOKA.' Takeru Amano is internationally recognized, and his 'VENUS' series is supported by collectors worldwide. The opening day will also feature DJ performances and special cocktails by Alvin Lam, who has managed hundreds of events in Hong Kong. Located on the street level in Imaizumi, the gallery functions as an exhibition space during the day and a cultural venue at night.
