🗼 ART RUNWAY at Design Festa
Art Runway® takes its first bold step at one of Asia’s most iconic art festivals—Design Festa in Tokyo.
Design Festa is Japan’s largest open art and design festival, attracting over 60,000 visitors and 12,000+ creators each time.
Held at Tokyo Big Sight, it celebrates freedom of expression, diversity, and the boundless power of creativity.In this energetic and colorful environment, Art Runway made its debut—
a new kind of live art experience where artists walk the red carpet holding their own works, becoming both the creator and the canvas.
It wasn’t just a performance.
It was a quiet revolution—where expression moves, breathes, and connects people in real time.
✨ What it means
This is not the finish line.
It’s the beginning of something larger:
a movement that invites creators to walk, to express, and to rise—on their own terms.
By stepping onto the stage at Design Festa, Art Runway began its journey—not as a spectacle, but as a living, evolving platform for global creativity.
