[Kagawa Olive Guyners] High school students' creativity converges at the stadium. "2nd SETO CRAFT High School Techno Art Exhibition" to be held at Rexxam Ballpark Marugame

Kagawa Olive Guyners Baseball Club Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture), with the special sponsorship of Goda Construction Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture), is pleased to announce that the "2nd SETO CRAFT High School Techno Art Exhibition" will be held on August 9, 2026 (Sun) during the home official game at Rexxam Ballpark Marugame.

This event is an exhibition where high school students learning art, crafts, design, architecture, robotics, and other fields will present their self-made works and be recognized.

This project, held for the first time last year, was well-received as a venue for high school students to share the results of their daily learning and creative activities with the community. This year, the number of participating schools has increased from 3 last year to 7, developing into an exhibition that brings together high schools from the three Shikoku prefectures of Kagawa, Ehime, and Tokushima.

Furthermore, this year the venue has moved to Rexxam Ballpark Marugame, and as with last year, it will be held in conjunction with a Kagawa Olive Guyners home game day. In the stadium space where sports and art merge, many visitors will be able to see the creativity and technical skills of the high school students.

◼️ Collaborative Classes with Goda Construction Co., Ltd.

In preparation for this exhibition, collaborative classes by Kagawa Olive Guyners and Goda Construction Co., Ltd. have been conducted at participating schools since May 2026. Through these classes, students are understanding the background and purpose of the exhibition, designing original T-shirts to be worn on the day of the event, and filming school introduction videos.

◼️ Background of the Event

Amidst challenges such as declining population and a shortage of workers in regional industries, there is a need to create opportunities for high school students studying fields such as art, crafts, design, architecture, and robotics to showcase their talents throughout the region.

As a "club that supports regional challenges," Kagawa Olive Guyners is working on regional revitalization beyond the realm of sports. Through this project, we aim to support the challenges of the younger generation and create new opportunities for exchange that connect educational institutions, companies, and local residents.

◼️ Representative's Comment

As a former high school teacher, I have witnessed the moments when students create something with their own hands and present it. From that experience, I am convinced that a "place where the results of their efforts can be seen by others" greatly supports the challenges of the younger generation. I want everyone in the community to see the creativity and technical skills of the high school students on the extraordinary stage of the stadium. Together with our special sponsor, Goda Construction Co., Ltd., we will continue to nurture this place where sports and craftsmanship intersect. (Shunsuke Sawamura, President and Representative Director, Kagawa Olive Guyners Baseball Club Co., Ltd.)

◼️ Comment from Special Sponsor, Goda Construction Co., Ltd.

We are very pleased to be able to hold the 2nd "SETO CRAFT High School Techno Art Exhibition."

At last year's inaugural exhibition, we were deeply impressed by the high quality of the works created by the high school students and their free and rich imagination. For us as well, it was a valuable opportunity to strongly realize the potential of the younger generation who will carry the future of craftsmanship.

This year, the number of participating schools has expanded from 3 to 7, and we are delighted that this exhibition is steadily growing as an initiative rooted in the community. We hope that the high school students will have many people see the results of their daily learning and creative activities, and use this experience as confidence to take another step towards further challenges.

As a company involved in craftsmanship, we, Goda Construction Co., Ltd., will continue to support the challenges of the younger generation who will carry the future of the region, and walk together to make this exhibition a place that fosters new encounters and learning.
