With the theme “Just like buying usual items and clothes, let’s purchase art works and decorate the home. Try to incorporate art into your life” and enjoy “buying art.” Living with Art’s “Machinaka Art editions” will be exhibited and sold; this will include 63 artworks from 20 different artists. Each artwork will cost 9,800 yen (tax included). All works are signed with an edition number. You can choose your favorite frame from 5 different types for the artwork you have purchased. (Separately sold)

Customers will also be able to join a popularity vote during this event. For the artist who gains the greatest number of votes they will win the opportunity to hold an exhibition in ODORI BISSE. For the customers who participate in the vote there is a chance to get special benefits such as art, and other goods and presents from ODORI BISSE. Art works will be exhibited inside six stores in ODORI BISSE. These will be selected by the popular make-up artist Miwa Yokoyama. In addition, a special exhibition will be held by up-and-coming artists from “Machinaka Art”, Takuya Yonezawa and Yasuharu Mounai, and release their latest artworks. During this time, workshops will be held by the artists.
