"What entrepreneurs who put their whole life on the line to confront society have in their minds when they reach a point where they have overcome all hardships. I would like to see the world that is created when this is depicted as art."

We have decided to launch the Entrepreneur Art Association, a general incorporated association, in order to narrow the gap between Japan's business sector and art sector, increase the number of highly cultured entrepreneurs, and economically boost Japan's art scene.

This time, we will be holding an event called "THE ENTREPRENEUR ART DAY 2025" to commemorate the launch of the Entrepreneur Art Association, so if you are interested in and sympathize with this initiative, we would be delighted if you would join us.

What is Entrepreneurial Art?
Entrepreneur Art

It is an art genre that exhibits works that entrepreneurs can create because of the way they have lived their lives, along with their profiles and stories. It is an attempt to find artistic value not in the artworks themselves, but in the lives of entrepreneurs who spend their entire lives confronting society.

The purpose of the Entrepreneur Art Association
To narrow the gap between the entrepreneur-centered business sector and the art sector by raising awareness, spreading, and promoting entrepreneurial art. To contribute to the creation of highly cultured entrepreneurs by improving entrepreneurs' ability to utilize art. To inject economic power into the Japanese art scene by increasing the points of contact between artists and entrepreneurs' business activities.
