・About the special exhibition
Our site, FROM ARTIST, which started its service in December of last year, has currently registered over 300 artists. We have continued our activities with the aim of creating a place where the works of artists, both famous and unknown, can be fairly evaluated.
We, the managers of FROM ARTIST, have started this ``Japanese Art Journey to 47 Prefectures'' project with the idea that ``we want more people to see your works...''❕❕
This month, which marks our half-anniversary, we were finally able to hold the first event at the Tsukuba Art Museum in Ibaraki Prefecture.

This time, 112 works by a total of 49 artists were displayed at the Tsukuba Museum of Art.
I think it was a very gorgeous and worth seeing exhibition, befitting the memorable first edition of the 47 Prefectures of Japan Art Journey! ! ✨
During the event period, we had approximately 1,500 people visit, ranging from small children to the elderly! !
One of the highlights of this special exhibition was that a contest based on visitor voting was also held at the same time👀❕
There were more customers than I expected, and there was an incident where all the ballot papers were lost...
It was a great success with over 1400 votes in total! !
The visitors carefully looked at each work one by one, saying, ``It was a really fun exhibit!'' ``All the works were so good, I had a hard time deciding which one to vote for...'' We received a lot of happy comments such as “! We, the staff, are also full of pride 😊
The results of this very successful contest are scheduled to be announced on May 15th.
An original magazine containing contest results, artist interviews, etc. is also in the works...🖋
We look forward to seeing all the artists who exhibited and their fans🙌

What did you think? ?
FROM ARTIST has held several exhibitions and events in the past, but this was our first attempt at a project on such a large scale. There were a few hiccups, but thanks to everyone's support, we were able to finish the event with great success. Thank you 🙏
We are currently thinking of plans to travel around Japan in various locations!
We look forward to your participation at the next site 🙇♀️
Also, this is my personal impression as a staff member, but I had the opportunity to connect with many artists this time, and I received a lot of inspiration! For me, it was an opportunity for me to once again think about devoting myself as an artist. I look forward to working with you again if you have the opportunity☺︎!
Finally, I would like to once again express my sincere gratitude to all the artists, visitors, and staff of the Tsukuba Museum of Art who participated in this event.
Please look forward to the next project 💐
