OS Corporation (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Osaka) will host an interactive art appreciation event, 'Tsunagaru BAR ART ~ Art & Chat Night ~ Vermeer Edition,' on Monday, June 22, 2026, at 'BEER&GRILL Kobe Beer House' in the Kobe-Sannomiya area. The event aims to invigorate the nightlife of the Kobe-Sannomiya area and promote bar hopping.

This event proposes a new way to spend evenings in Sannomiya, where participants can enjoy 'art appreciation without right answers' while holding a drink, fostering natural communication among attendees. In collaboration with SLICE BAR (Headquarters: Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture), which proposes new bar styles, CenterField (Headquarters: Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture) for graphic design, and Tsunagaru EAT Inc. (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture) for community space operation, the event aims to foster exchange and community development with art as a catalyst.

Through area management centered around the Sannomiya OS Building, our company has been working to create vibrancy in the region. This event will promote nighttime bar hopping (hashigo culture) and further contribute to the revitalization of the night-time economy in the Kobe-Sannomiya area.

Features of this Event:

● Enjoy with Senses from Zero Knowledge! 'Interactive Art Appreciation'

No prior art knowledge is required. It is an experiential workshop where all participants carefully observe one painting and share their feelings in words. Guided by Tomoko Hirata of CenterField, themed around the 17th-century Dutch master Johannes Vermeer, the event will draw out participants' free ideas.

Tomoko Hirata (Representative of CenterField)

In addition to graphic design and branding, she is an avid art lover who visits museums more than three times a month. She possesses broad knowledge from classical to contemporary art and excels at conveying the charm of art in an easy-to-understand manner for those without specialized knowledge. With the motto 'Let's start by feeling,' she practices interactive art appreciation sessions in various locations.

● Experience Vermeer's World Through Your Senses with 'Limited Original Cocktails & Pairing'

In addition to Kobe Beer House's signature grilled dishes (like spare ribs), this time, bartender Masayoshi Adachi of 'SLICE BAR' has specially created three original cocktails inspired by Vermeer's works, which will be offered exclusively (additional charge). By combining art appreciation with food and drinks, you can experience Vermeer's worldview with all five senses.

● Proposing a Kobe-style 'Hashigo (Second Round)' to Continue Exploring the Night City After the Event

After the event (from 9:00 PM onwards), participants who wish to continue the conversation can be guided to 'SLICE BAR' for a second round, carrying the artistic afterglow. This proposes a sophisticated Kobe-style nightlife that encourages exploring the city rather than staying in one place.

What is 'Tsunagaru BAR'?

'Tsunagaru BAR' is a community creation project developed by Tsunagaru EAT Inc. (Representative: Soichiro Tsuchiya). Aiming for a new form of BAR unbound by people, time, or place, it develops events that serve as regional hubs through alcohol. This collaboration with 'art' offers a new exchange experience unique to Kobe-Sannomiya.
