The Kanagawa Prefectural Art Exhibition started in 1965 with the aim of contributing to the improvement of prefectural culture and the development of writers. Since then, it has been popular as the prefecture's premier publicly-offered art exhibition, and has sent many excellent artists to the world as a gateway to emerging artists.

In addition, this exhibition consists of four categories: two-dimensional objects, crafts, books, and photographs.
