【Event Statement】
To face an era where all conventional wisdom is being overturned.
From "Art Thinking," which incorporates artists' ways of thinking into business,
the diverse values born from the connection between art and business
holds the potential to profoundly transform the future of our society.

Artists, entrepreneurs, producers, researchers, journalists,
top leaders active on the front lines of this field surely sense this potential,
and surely harbor their own "wildly imaginative visions of the future" yet to be shared.

"ART PUB NIGHT" invites such guests
to fuel fantasies about the future created by art and business
to let their imaginations run wild.

Even the vague fantasies you keep hidden, or the futures you thought impossible,
when shared among this event's guests, may begin to take shape,
and "daydreams" might just turn into "blueprints."

Please enjoy this special night of dreaming about the future through wild talk.
