Actress An Suzuki Launches 'Share Atelier Pukupuku'

On April 27, 2025, renowned actress An Suzuki will launch her online community, 'Share Atelier Pukupuku,' coinciding with her birthday. This creative space aims to foster a supportive environment for artistic expression among its members by transitioning her daily art posts previously shared on Instagram into a more exclusive format.

Building a Community of Support

Suzuki, who has been actively painting a page each day since 2016, held her first solo exhibition at the 'goen°' atelier in 2022. Her upcoming solo exhibition titled '△ Window UFO' is scheduled from April 19 to April 22, 2025.

As she continued her artistic journey, An developed a desire to create a safe and closed space where fellow creators could gather, share, and support one another without fear of judgment. "Everyone has the right to be an artist. This community should be a sanctuary where members can freely express their talents and overcome any challenges together," she emphasizes. Through the community platform offered by OSIRO, a company based in Tokyo that specializes in customized community spaces, An aims to provide a nurturing environment where artistic connections can thrive and inspire each other.

Features of Share Atelier Pukupuku

The 'Share Atelier Pukupuku' community offers several exciting features, including:
1. Daily Art Sharing: Members can enjoy An's daily art posts as she shares one piece of art each day within the community, shifting away from public platforms like Instagram.
2. Monthly Online Meetings: Titled 'Everyone's Fermentation Time,' these gatherings will allow members to engage with one another and discuss thematic content in a lively online setting. An seeks to create a welcoming atmosphere for everyone to share their thoughts.
3. Group Exhibition Goal: Members will collectively work towards hosting their own group exhibition, showcasing their talents. This collaborative goal aims to foster a sense of community and teamwork among the artists.
4. Exclusive Online Store: A dedicated online shop will open where members can purchase An's artworks, further strengthening the connection between creator and supporter.

Membership Options

There are two membership plans available to suit various needs:

• - Pukupuku Plan: Ideal for those who want to actively participate in creative activities and engage with An and other members.
• - Hokkori Plan: Best for individuals who wish to enjoy community content such as An's art or audio feeds without direct participation.

The membership application period will last until April 23, 2025, culminating in the community's opening and the first welcome broadcast on April 27, 2025.

An Suzuki's Vision

Reflecting on her artistic journey, An shares, "It’s strange to think that on New Year's Day 2016, I just decided to draw in my Hobonichi planner, and it became a daily ritual. Drawing brings me immense joy and therapy at a deeper level than a hot spring. I want to build a community that celebrates individual expression, allowing every member to delve deeper into their creativity and find joy in each other's progress."

This visionary community, aptly named 'Share Atelier Pukupuku,' hopes to encourage the fermenting of talents, enabling abundant growth. Not limited to drawing, all forms of expression are welcome here, as An dreams of a space where future artists may flourish and potentially make their mark on the world.

The Role of OSIRO

The implementation of the OSIRO platform, designed specifically for communities, allows for the creation of secure spaces supporting artistic expression without the fear of exposure. OSIRO’s capabilities in maintaining psychological safety and connecting creatives have resonated deeply with An. They also actively support various creators, brands, and media companies.

Conclusion

Ultimately, the launch of 'Share Atelier Pukupuku' signifies more than just an online community; it represents a heartfelt initiative to inspire and uplift fellow creators in their artistic endeavors. With An Suzuki at the helm, members can look forward to a nurturing environment where their talents can truly shine.
