Project Overview

Project Name

M GATE ART PROJECT

Concept and Slogan

Drawing the Gate (M) to the future with everyone's aspirations.

Three Identities Embodied in M

MIKAWA: Symbolizing the pride of our beloved hometown, "Mikawa"

MINNA (Everyone): Fans, residents, teams, companies, everyone is the protagonist

MIX: A place where basketball and volleyball, sports and art, people and the city intersect

Project Purpose

The "walls" surrounding a construction site are originally meant to be a "barrier" to prevent viewing inside.

However, we are transforming this space into a "GATE" leading to the future, the new arena.

Artwork of leading sports figures from Mikawa will adorn the walls.

The arena construction site will be transformed into a "sacred place" for fans, turning the waiting period for completion into a process of excitement and passion.

This is the mission of "MGATE."
