🎨 Why Was Art and Cafe Created?
The Limitations of Art Schools and Painting Classes – and a New Way to Experience Art
The Challenges of Traditional Art Education
For decades, art universities and painting schools have been the primary path for those pursuing art. Yet, these institutions come with significant challenges:
• High barriers to entry – competitive exams and expensive tuition fees.
• Time-consuming commitments – multi-year programs that are not accessible for busy professionals or children.
• Focus on “correct answers” – an emphasis on technical perfection often suppresses individuality and creativity.
Likewise, conventional painting classes mainly emphasize repetitive practice and technical improvement. While valuable for building skill, they often lack accessibility, spontaneity, and a sense of immediate achievement.

Who Is Art For?
Art is not reserved for the gifted few.
• Anyone can create
• Anyone can enjoy
• Anyone can express themselves
This philosophy inspired the birth of Art and Cafe—a place where art becomes truly open to everyone.

From “Self-Proclaimed Artist” to Contemporary Artist
In the age of social media, many people call themselves artists. But being recognized as a contemporary artist requires more than simply creating artworks. It demands specific skills:
1. The ability to articulate concepts – explaining the meaning and story behind the work.
2. Connection to the times – addressing themes relevant to society and culture.
3. Communication and presentation skills – sharing art effectively through exhibitions and digital platforms.
At Art and Cafe, guests not only create their own works but are also encouraged to share their creations on Instagram or TikTok—practicing the very act of connecting personal expression with a wider audience.
