Amplifying Emerging
Communities of Color
Community
Black in every color brings together an international community of artists, creating non-traditional gallery spaces as a response to the lack of diversity and representation of artists of color in the fine art space.
Connectivity
Bringing together industry leaders and local community partners with established and emerging artists, we create an enriching environment that creates opportunities, inspires action and builds bridges from the creative community to the corporate world.

A Safe Space for Expression
Finding Motivation through Community
Since 2018, Tokyo Love Hotels has birthed a home in Tokyo for creatives from various backgrounds. From newcomers to established artists, we create a shared platform based on love and art, which became a safe space for expression.
Grounded in our values of love, art, and equality, the social impact of Tokyo Love Hotels have profoundly transformed the approach businesses take in supporting artists and community, nurturing mutual gain.
Contrary to the locally known "love hotels," Tokyo Love Hotels has transformed the conception of these words among the community; bringing a rich community of Japanese and international creatives with love for the arts. People connect, find motivation as well as inspiration to create. At Tokyo Love Hotels, it doesn’t matter where you’re from, what your experiences are—anyone is welcome.

Our Roots
Our roots begin in Tokyo, where we recognized the presence of diverse creative communities searching for a place to call home. Originating from language and cultural divides, there existed a disconnect that hindered artists from reaching their highest potential, whether due to resource constraints, networking challenges, or simply, trust. Despite Japan's reputation as an inspiring and popular destination for creatives, we witnessed numerous individuals falling in love with the country only to depart in search of greater opportunities elsewhere.
Through creating inclusive art events that provided a safe haven for a diverse array of creatives, we began to nurture a multicultural creative hub in Japan. As we welcomed all, we understood needs, and we shared resources and created opportunities together. Through our platforms, creatives began finding a gateway to Japan.
Now as we forge connections with like-minded creatives in LA, we embark on a journey to curate a global ecosystem that empowers creativity and community. We are excited to shape Japan into a center of multicultural creativity and innovation, which serves as inspiration for generations to come.
To us, art transcends borders—it knows no country, no language, no boundaries.
Art by
the People
for Innovation
of the People
We believe diversity in arts are fundamental to culture and pillars of economic prosperity. Artistic expression is the foreground of an inclusive and compassionate society, providing a sense of belonging and social cohesion among individuals from different backgrounds.
From a vibrant creative community, an innovative, dynamic environment conducive to entrepreneurship is created. Celebrating diverse voices in the arts enhances a community's appeal as a vibrant and powerful hub for investment and talent. In essence, the connection between art and diversity drives economic growth, enriching society both culturally and financially.
