The art project digmeout produced by FM802 / FMCOCOLO, the No.1 radio station in Osaka, has launched the “ART GIVES YOU A SMILE” campaign, in which the artists work together to send a positive message with art, and bring smiles and courage.
In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, artists have been limited in their expression activities and income due to the refraining from exhibitions and postponement of events. The purpose of this project is to create opportunities for artists to express themselves, and to purchase the images to connect people’s empathy with the author’s financial support.
＞ ART GIVES YOU A SMILE Campaign Site
You can download the image if you have one favorite. The download amount is a system that the purchaser decides. All the proceeds will be returned to the participating artists. Art can be used as a background for Facebook, LINE, Twitter, Zoom meetings, etc.
The art of digmeout is filled with the thought, “May the art lead to many smiles”. Please visit the digmeout website. The number of works will be increased from now on.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
