The full lineup has been announced for the 18th SHIBUYA ART SCRAMBLE 2026, which will take place from Monday, November 2 to Sunday, November 8, 2026. The festival is organized by the SHIBUYA ART SCRAMBLE Executive Committee (Chairperson: 小林幹育, representative of the 渋谷・東地区まちづくり協議会).
SHIBUYA ART SCRAMBLE is an arts festival that treats the whole city of Shibuya as an art park in the autumn art season, creating opportunities for a wide range of people to "touch," "think about" and "feel" art.
This year, more than 10 art programs will be held across Shibuya's commercial facilities and public spaces, including Shibuya City's Miyashita Park, Shibuya Hikarie and Yoyogi Park BE STAGE. For one week in the autumn art season, the streets of Shibuya will be filled with a wide variety of art.
Programs of the 18th SHIBUYA ART SCRAMBLE 2026
SHIBUYA ART SCRAMBLE Mission Rally (Special Project of the 18th SHIBUYA ART SCRAMBLE 2026)
Art is hidden in everyday Shibuya. The SHIBUYA ART SCRAMBLE Mission Rally is a web app that lets participants explore the city with just a smartphone. Missions are scattered across eight spots, from park monuments to back alleys, and as participants progress, familiar scenery starts to look a little different. Those who complete every spot receive an original clear bonus.
