Nagasaki Peace Exhibition 2026 - LELA International has been commemorating the dropping of the atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Japan, for the past 45 years through an art exhibition held at the Nagasaki Prefectural Museum of Art. This year marks the 46th anniversary of LELA's education to inviting artists to contribute works that advocate for peace, denounce war, and condemn the use of atomic weapons.

With 2026 marking the 81st anniversary of the atomic bombings, participation in this year’s Nagasaki 8.9 Peace Exhibition is especially significant. The selected artwork will first be displayed at the Nagasaki Prefectural Museum of Art for a week before being moved to Nagasaki City Hall, where it will be exhibited, dates to be determined.

The title of this annual exhibit includes, “8.9” August 9th which refers to the date the bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. LINK

The Dalí’s special exhibition, Alberto Giacometti & Salvador Dalí: Through & Beyond Surrealism, created in partnership with the Fondation Alberto et Annette Giacometti, brings together paintings, sculptures and archival materials by Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966) alongside works by Salvador Dalí. The exhibition highlights the unexpected affinities between the two artists, whose creative dialogue began in the 1930s despite their stylistic differences. The Dalí’s Existentialism Contest draws inspiration from the surreal and existential themes that shaped both artists’ work. For The Dalí’s Existentialism Contest, we invited you to challenge perceptions of reality and share your own Existentialist art. LINK
