The exhibition opens next week, and we’re kicking it off properly with a night of art, drinks, music, and wandering. Read on.

May Artists Mixer Meetup

May 16, 19:30 @ NININI·NI

A night for art lovers, city walkers, and creative spirits

To celebrate the launch of Big City Bathing, we’re hosting a casual mixer/opening party for the new show. Expect good company, spontaneous conversations, and the usual mix of food, music, and Jinny Lemon Sours behind the counter.

The event will be taking place at NININI·NI. For those who still use a paper map, navigate to 2-3-23 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-0001

Time: from 19:30 – come late, come early, no pressure
Exhibition Walk: Around 20:30 we’ll head out together for a slow walk through the open-air gallery

Come for the art, stay for the people. Whether you submitted, plan to, or just want to see what city bathing looks like—we’d love to see you.

See you around the hood,

—Toto, Lorenzo
