DesignArt Tokyo 2021: "CHANCE!"

DESIGNART Tokyo is one of Japan's largest art and design festivals, which brings together various genres of art, design, interior design, and fashion from around the world. In a time when new ideas, creative thinking, and actions are particularly needed, these art and design pieces contribute with their creative value in the new era. With this year's theme of "CHANCE!", the festival incorporates 300 artists and designers who showcase a diverse range of timeless works. From 22 to 31 October, Tokyo, one of the world's most culturally diverse cities, is filled with contemporary creations by these talented artists and designers.  While the pandemic poses challenges and limits to opportunities for creators and collects to meet, DESIGNART Tokyo, together with the Crowdfunding service "ubgoe", will hold "KURADASHI", an exhibition where visitors are able to see and purchase valuable works by creators that are not yet available on the market. The rare selection of works that will be exhibited and sold consists of prototypes and treasured works that were previously stored in their ateliers for various reasons that never reached the market. This is a creative market with a new concept where works that are not usually available are delivered to users who share their values.
