Message

During the state of emergency declared due to the COVID-19 pandemic, under the call to "Stay Home," many events were forced to cancel, and numerous artists lost their platforms for activity. News reports daily on infection numbers filled the world with a pessimistic atmosphere. Amidst this, an idea was born.

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could use digital signage nationwide to transform Japan's streets with art?"

Using the power of art to dissolve the friction in people's hearts and transform society into a brighter place. That challenge begins now.

The signage displays will be managed by LIVE BOARD and will be located in Tokyo, Hokkaido, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama, Aichi, Osaka, and Fukuoka.
This time, we have invited artists from an extremely wide range of fields (participating artists will be announced on the website at a later date) to join us, and numerous artworks will be displayed throughout the city.
