From GAN to the world,
A bridge to the global stage.

The power of art to connect the future

GAN PROJECT Inc. is a contemporary art initiative inspired by the legacy of Akira Ishino and GALLERYGAN, originally founded in Ginza in 1995. Known for discovering and supporting emerging artists, Ishino brought fresh perspectives to the global art scene through exhibitions across Japan and abroad. His contributions earned him prestigious honors and deep respect within the international art community.

Continuing this spirit, GAN PROJECT is committed to discovering and nurturing artists while promoting “marketable contemporary art” across a growing global network. Marking the first anniversary of Ishino’s passing, the project has expanded its platform to showcase a diverse range of talent from Japan and beyond—supporting boundary-pushing creativity and shaping the future of art for a new generation.
