【 Charity - Social support from the Art - 】
The RINKO-KAKU [Tea Room] project, which started in 2019, is an ongoing 'charity project' that rethinks the social role of art. The project has produced an exhibition catalogue and a collection of limited-edition works by each artist. This year, in addition to the ongoing support for children affected by the Great East Japan Earth-quake, the project will also provide cultural assistance to Ukraine, albeit in a very small way, in view of the damage caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
As a "charity project" for two purposes: to support art and culture in Ukraine and to support the recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake, the exhibition catalogue and a catalogue with a limited edition of each artist's work are available for sale and pre-order.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these books will be donated to the Ukrainian Emergency Art Fund and the Hataqi Fund. In the context of the international emergency situation, we hope that art can play a small role in supporting society. We would like to ask for your cooperation.
