Wakabacho Wharf is a private art center founded by Makoto SATO, a playwright and a stage director, in June 2017.
The building renovated from a 50-year-old small building located in the downtown of Yokohama, a harbor city, holds a small theater with the capacity of 44 on the first floor (can be used as a gallery), a dance studio on the second floor, and a dormitory space on the third floor. The space on the first floor, which opened as a white box, has transformed into a lively space decorated with wall drawings by local emerging artists, which is named , during the temporary closure due to COVID-19.
Directly experiencing the sign of significant transition of the time, Wakabacho Wharf aims to continue a small and steady step as the face-to-face networking base domestically and internationally, mainly focusing on diverse projects in residence in cooperation with artists from neighboring cities in Asia.

若葉町ウォーフは、2017年6月に劇作家・演出家の佐藤信が開設した民間アートセンターです。
港町横浜の下町にある築50年の小さなビルを改装した建物は、客席定員44名の小劇場（１階／ギャラリーとしても使用可）、ダンススタジオ（２階）、ドミトリー形式の宿泊場（３階）を備えています。ホワイトボックスとしてスタートした一階のスペースは、COVID-19影響による活動休止中に、近隣の若手アーティストたちが描いた壁画に彩られ、＜COVID-19記念劇場＞と名付けられた賑やかな空間にかわりました。
大きな時代の変化の予兆を肌で感じながら、近隣アジア諸都市のアーティストたちと共におこなう滞在型事業を中心に、顔の見える国内外のネットワーク拠点として、小さく、着実な歩みを一歩、一歩積み重ねていきたいと思います。
