【Event Statement】
To confront an era where all conventional wisdom is being overturned.
From "art thinking"—incorporating 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, and researchers at the forefront of this field surely sense this potential
surely sense this potential and harbor within them yet-untold "fantasies of the future."

"ART PUB NIGHT" invites such guests
to fuel the imagination of a 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,
may begin to take shape as our guests converse,
and "daydreams" might just transform into "blueprints."

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