Description
Always reacting agilely to “contemporariness,” we are quick to embody the future a little ahead of time and actively give back toward a better society. Based on the idea that this is universal to both business and art, the collection is being formed for all artists as long as they have a strong sense of “contemporariness”.
We invite you to enjoy a variety of works by not only internationally active artists, but also those who are just starting their careers, and those who have established careers but have yet to be fully appreciated.
Date Saturday, June 1, 2024 to the end of December 2024 Due to popular demand, the exhibition will be extended until the end of March 2025.
