About the exhibition
Regarding the background of the exhibition, the exhibition was planned in order to fulfill the wishes of the artists affiliated with FROM ARTIST to ``hold a special exhibition.''
FROM ARTIST is comprised of people with mental illnesses and artists who have recovered from mental illness through their own art activities.
As the term "art therapy" suggests, art not only colors a space, but also has the power to heal and move people's hearts.
This is the first time we have collaborated with Palette, since they told us that they would like to support the activities of artists.

Exhibition status
We exhibited a total of 55 wonderful works by 19 artists.
We would like to thank all the artists who participated. thank you.
Also, there were many customers at the venue, from small children to the elderly.
We were able to take our time to look at each piece and be satisfied with it.
Each work had a QR code that linked to the work information on the website, so many customers accessed it by reading it with their smartphone cameras.
We have received wonderful comments such as "I saw such a wonderful work!", "I want this picture", and "It's fun just looking at it".
And a talk event was held on March 3rd!
Approximately 30 people, including related parties, attended the venue.
This time, Fumitori Tsumugi from FROM ARTIST appeared as a guest artist.
It was a fun and educational talk event that included the influence of art, an introduction to the works in this exhibition, and a question corner for Fumitri.
After the talk event, we had some free time to watch the show, but we had a lot of questions for Mr. Fumitri from the customers who were not able to ask questions at the event, and it was a meaningful time for the customers as well.
On March 3rd, an Ibaraki Prefectural Newspaper reporter came to interview us.
It was published in the morning edition of the newspaper on March 5th!
Thank you for the wonderful article!
summary
This time, we talked about the exhibition overview and situation.
Out of 55 works, 10 were actually purchased, making the exhibition an opportunity for customers to connect with artists' works.
This was our first exhibition, and thanks to you, it was a great success!
We look forward to your participation in our next project.
As for my personal impressions, while I helped set up and serve customers, I was very happy and moved to be able to see in person the wonderful works of artists that I usually see online. We will continue to work hard to follow and support artists.
Last but not least, I would like to once again thank all the artists who participated in this event, the customers who visited the event, everyone at Palette Inc. who cooperated with the planning process, and the FROM ARTIST staff.
thank you.
Please look forward to the next project.
