ToCo, Tokyo Collective, is an artist group that myself and felow Tokyo-based illustrator Julia Nascimento started in 2018 as a way to connect Japanese and International creatives. We wanted to give a chance to both professional and amatuer artists to exercise their creativity by writing visual stories based on a Tokyo-related theme. We collect the finished stories into anthologies, which we aim to publish annually.
Our newest addition is released this weekend, November 30th. In ToCo's next edition, "himitsu," eleven artists and writers tell visual stories of Tokyo's secrets. Come to The Landing, the second floor gallery at the lovely August Moon Cafe, in Hamacho, Tokyo to get your copy of the new book, meet the artists, and see a special one-day exhibition of original artwork from the project. Enterance to the exhibition is free. Food and drink can be purchased and enjoyed on the first floor at August Moon Cafe. ToCoの新版「himitsu」では、11人のアーティストがイラストと文章のビジュアルストーリーで東京の秘密を語ります。 イースト東京の浜町にあるオーガストムーンカフェの2階ギャラリーで1日リリースイベントを開催します。「himitsu」を購入することはもちろん、アーティストとの交流と原画作品展示も楽しむことができます。 展示会への入場は無料です。 1階のAugust Moon Cafeで食べ物・飲み物が販売しております。 What: ToCo 'himitsu' release pop-up shop and group exhibition When: 11/30 (Saturday) 2019 Where: August Moon Cafe in Hamacho, Tokyo Time: 13:00 ~20:30 Enterance: Free!
