As previously announced, a CLAMP art exhibition will be held at the National Art Center in Roppongi, Tokyo, from July 3rd until September 23rd of 2024. It will be the largest CLAMP exhibition to date.

Today the exhibit’s official website and X account were both updated to reveal the first details of it.

The exhibition will be consisted of five themes:

“C” is for COLOR.
CLAMP color the world.

“L” stands for LOVE.
The form of love that CLAMP depict.

“A” is for ADVENTURE.
Follow CLAMP’s story.

“M” is for MAGIC.
CLAMP create magic.

“P” is for PHRASE.
CLAMP spin words.

I guess this is why the exhibition’s logo is shaped the way it is 😉

Key visuals for the five themes will be released soon, the first one will be announced on February 25th.

Moreover, the exhibition will be split in two parts. The first part will run from July 3rd until August 12th. The second part will run from August 14th to September 23rd. It’s not clear yet at this point what is the difference between the two parts, but usually contents change between one part and the other. Goods and visiting giveaways might differ as well.

July 3rd to July 5th will be “special viewing days” to celebrate the exhibition’s opening.

Here’s the full schedule:

According to this post by the official X account, all CLAMP works will be featured, from RG Veda to Drug & Drop:

Interestingly enough, sequels where the main title didn’t change were referred to as a single work: Magic Knight Rayearth, Card Captor Sakura, Tsubasa – RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE – and XXXHOLiC. Gouhou Drug and Drug & Drop, however, are listed as two separate works (indeed they have different titles and logos, after all).

I do wonder if we will be seeing any of their early doujinshi works or non-series or non-manga works as well.

I am very much looking forward to the key visuals! Surely they will be new illustrations drawn by CLAMP? I sure hope so!
