Roppongi Art Night 2021 is planned as a real and digital hybrid event. The duration of the core-event has been extended to take place from Thursday, September 23 – Sunday, September 26, as a measure to reduce the impact of crowds and the spread of COVID-19, while still allowing viewers to enjoy the works of art and explore the city of Roppongi.

Our main artist will be Takashi Murakami, one of the top names in Japanese contemporary art.
For this installment’s motif, Murakami has chosen “Doraemon,” the beloved children’s comic book character that he calls the “biggest Japanese pop icon of the 20th century.” In recent years, the artist has produced a series of works involving the character, a “collaboration” with the late Fujiko F. Fujio, the creator of Doraemon.
In addition, Murakami has selected a group of artists who will take on “Doraemon” in similar fashion.

Roppongi Art Night 2021 Theme: “Magical Adventure : Find Your Art of Wonder in the Town!”
Once a year, art from all corners of the globe assembles in Roppongi.
The event will include a special contemporary artwork of “Doraemon,” installation, video, and performance works throughout the city, as well as a variety of video works, performances, and talk programs that can be enjoyed digitally through Roppongi Art Night Digital (including RAN TV).
Under the spell of art, the city will transform into a magical world filled with mystery.
Setting out on an adventure to search for the mysteries of art, there are many discoveries of surprise and emotion awaiting.
