The current city of Saitama, which was created by merging the four cities, has many characteristics because of this, and it is not possible to communicate each one well.

"The 13th Artful Dream Festival 2020" will be held at the special stage of the main site of Saitama Triennale 2020 (former Omiya Ward Office). SACP will hold a live performance of three people as a collaboration project. From 10:00 to 16:00, we are planning an ARTFULL Yume Matsuri .
"ARTFULL Yume Matsuri " is an outdoor music event that started in 2008. Under the theme of "everyone is the creator, everyone is the protagonist" with the aim of connecting people and the city with art centered on music, the event has become a lively season as an event created by the participants themselves. At its core, the idea of "lively in the city with music!", Which was set forth by the parent "Seseragi Concert," is still being passed down.
SACP and the "Seseragi Concert" also collaborated with the "Sightama Art Action Exhibition" held at the former Omiya Library from January 25th to March 1st, and shared the idea of energetic activities in the community. This time, we will carry out a bridge to create a place of expression that will continue after the art festival. Please participate.
