Blend of Four

With the theme 'Blend (harmony)', four artists with different backgrounds and sensibilities will interpret 'Blend' from their own perspectives. The works created will gather in one space, and the individuality of the four artists will blend (harmonize), offering a new encounter with art. Photo by Ryo Yoshiya Photo by Ryo Yoshiya As it is the season of art, we would like to draw your attention to the art of Starbucks that can be enjoyed in daily life. Starbucks operates approximately 2,100 stores nationwide, and each store space expresses the connection to coffee, the region, and other things we value. Art complements the time and place that customers spend, and the mood of the day, and enhances the time spent at Starbucks. As a presence that brings new discoveries and pleasant stimulation, it blends into the daily life of customers. A place that further expands the connection between Starbucks and art is 'Starbucks Cafe & Art Gallery'. Currently, it operates two stores: Tanezawa Okudomibashi in Tokyo and Kyoto BAL in Kyoto. In the time of enjoying a regular cup of coffee, customers can easily touch art and receive encounters with new sensibilities and values. At 'Starbucks Cafe & Art Gallery Tanezawa Okudomibashi', since its opening in March, it has held various exhibitions such as three-person exhibitions and group exhibitions. This exhibition, which starts with 'Art Autumn', is a group exhibition titled 'Blend of Four' with the common theme of 'Blend (harmony)'. It will display the works of four artists with different backgrounds and sensibilities. The individuality and expressions of each artist will harmonize and resonate in one space, allowing you to enjoy a new scene together with coffee.

In conjunction with the exhibition, Starbucks, The Chain Museum, and the four artists held a dialogue session on the theme of 'Blend'.
