The General Incorporated Association Hareza Ikebukuro Area Management, with Tokyo Tatemono Co., Ltd. and Sankei Building Co., Ltd. serving as the secretariat, will hold an art event 'Kids = Artists' in collaboration with STUDIO201 at 'Hareza Ikebukuro' on Sunday, May 3rd (a national holiday), fusing the free ideas of children with the sensibilities of artists. Based on the concept that 'All Kids are Artists,' this event will feature impromptu public art creation, combining workshops for children with live performances by artists. This will be the 4th time the event is held at Hareza Ikebukuro, and 60 people in total participated during the previous event in 2025. By having artists finish the canvases freely drawn by children through live performances, unique artworks are born, fusing the infinite potential of children with the artists' sensibilities. The completed works will be exhibited in restaurants and commercial facilities in the Ikebukuro area so that visitors can enjoy them. By nurturing children's creativity through art and providing a new artistic experience to local residents, we aim to connect the memories of 'people' and 'the town.'
