A BATHING APE® exists to challenge expectations, champion outliers, and elevate expression. We push the boundaries of fearless expression.
The artistic arm of A BATHING APE®, BAPE GALLERY™, is a space to explore this vision alongside the artists shaping culture. Established in 2002, BAPE GALLERY™ has solidified its position as a comprehensive platform to co-create with the global art world. At BAPE GALLERY™, we blur the lines between art, culture and fashion in a space that invites our community to engage with globally recognized artists, designers and creatives alongside the next generation of creative voices. Past shows have included industry leaders like Hajime Sorayama, KAWS, FUTURA, STASH, Tetsu Nishiyama, Takahiro Miyashita, and more.
BAPE GALLERY™ provides a culturally vibrant and artistically diverse environment to welcome individuals into our creative community in Shanghai. This vibrant city embodies our brand’s ethos as a disruptor for the fearless. The inaugural show features artists including Adam Lister, Arkiv Vilmansa, LilKool, Oso de Agua, Sam Taylor, and Simone Legno and showcases their lens on the brand’s iconic archetypes.
Welcome to our fearless world of self-expression.
