Business Overview
Using the studio of the discus riding school and its paid web magazine as a platform, this project will reveal the creative process of several artists, experiments with ideas, and exchanges that are not normally exposed. Based on their own interests and awareness of issues, individual artists will interact with each other while stimulating each other, and seek new ways of expression that go beyond their traditional methods while repeating concrete efforts. Through these activities, we aim to create a new discourse that will renew the meaning of art and culture in contemporary society. [Outline of the 1st year project] (1) Activity report meeting Content: Every six months, the "activity report meeting" will be held to present the progress of the activities that the participating artists have been carrying out in their atelier "Discus riding place".
