About the purchase of exhibited artworks
The majority of the exhibited works will be sold during the exhibition. The proceeds from this sale of artwork, excluding the artist’s income, shipping costs and other expenses, will be donated to “Save the Children” to support children of today and the future. In addition, a “participatory program” by nine participating artists will be held as an opportunity for visitors to learn more about the artists and the background of their artworks before purchasing them. It is also an attempt to consider the organic nature of buying and selling artworks.
