Founder Maury Rubin had a unique background as a TV producer, and the pretzel croissants and rich hot chocolate that were born from his original ideas were instantly loved by New Yorkers. In Japan, it first landed in Osaka in 2013, and has since expanded to Tokyo, Fukuoka, Nagano, Kanagawa, Kyoto, and Nagoya. It is loved by everyone in the area as the “City Bakery.”

We aim to become an art space open to the city in the center of Tokyo, where urban development is progressing with a focus on art and culture. The location is the 1st floor of TODA BUILDING, where Toda Construction Co., Ltd. is developing various art programs based on the concept of “ART POWER KYOBASHI.” The space was designed by DDAA Co., Ltd., led by architect Daisuke Motoki. ● Concept When you arrive in Tokyo Tokyo8 minutes Arrive in 8 minutes Learn about current art at Gallery Get to know each other at Bakery This is your place What happens and what happens What will happen? What will you do to make it happen? Gallery & Bakery Tokyo 8 minutes ● Opening background 1. I want to be able to encounter art in my daily life. THE CITY BAKERY, a NY-originated bakery and cafe that is loved by New Yorkers, has grown into a “town bakery” in various places as its name suggests, through efforts that are close to the lives of local people since its arrival in Japan in 2013. I did. “Gallery & Bakery Tokyo 8 Minutes,” which we are working on together with “ArtSticker,” an online platform that provides opportunities for encounters and exchanges between art and viewers, is an 8-minute walk from Tokyo Station, Japan’s main transportation hub. It is located in In our daily lives, “buying bread and coffee” and “meeting up with friends”…as an extension of that, “appreciating artworks” makes art feel more familiar. Suggest a location. I hope that by having a place in the center of Tokyo, where people from all over the world gather, where you can encounter art as if you were visiting a bakery and cafe, it will be an opportunity for more people to “realize”. 2. Give artists the opportunity to present their work in a “huge space” in the center of Tokyo. Galleries play an important role as places where young and mid-career artists can present their work for the first time. However, 70% to 80% of galleries in Tokyo have a total floor space of less than 50 square meters, so there are not many opportunities to exhibit your work in a large space early in your career. The features of this space include an exhibition wall that is approximately 6 meters high, similar to an art museum, and a 200 square meter area that is one space with no partitions, so we value an open scale that allows the works to be viewed from a distance. Masu. By exhibiting their works in a large space, we hope that it will be a stepping stone for artists to advance their careers, but we also create a challenging place where artists themselves may come up with new ideas and expressions. I aim for it.
