On September 23, 2022, the public art lounge “Le Metté Adeline” was opened in the large complex facility “Mori no Machi Grace/Mori no Machi Plaza” located in the center of Okayama City.
This lounge will introduce young artists who are expected to be active in the future from a cross-disciplinary perspective, and bring together a variety of people including artists, collectors, students, and local residents. While welcoming artists from all over Japan and overseas, we will foster Okayama's artistic culture by discovering artists who are active in the local Setouchi region and disseminating them widely both domestically and internationally.
Additionally, as a public space specializing in art, we have designed a space where artworks will slowly seep into the local life, while taking advantage of the charm of a forest town where work, residence, and business gather.
The design and art direction of the art lounge will be handled by Sandwich, whose director is Kohei Nawa.
A space that explores new possibilities for the region and art is now in motion.
