Enjoy a Light Tour at Pier-2 Art Center

　When you are stuck what to do on a free day, heading to the Pier-2 Art Center（駁二藝術特區）is usually a good idea. It is always a fun adventure with lots of intriguing places to discover. Located in the Dayi Warehouse Cluster（大義倉庫）, moonmist atelier（泊‧月白moonmist）is a distinctive venue that provides exhibitions of vintage items, lifestyle art, and tea ceremony experiences.

　The term “Yue Bai”（月白）describes the grayish-white color of the sky before the moon rises, while “Bo”（泊）represents a brief stay. Reflecting the store’s name, the space features moon white, grayscale, and blue tones as its main themes. It offers a frameless platform with themed exhibitions changing each month. Artisans from Taiwan and overseas are invited to showcase unique handmade items, demonstrating the aesthetics of traditional crafts in modern life.

 

　The second floor is designed as a Japanese-style tatami tea room. In the afternoon, you can book a tea ceremony experience and savor professionally whisked matcha prepared by a tea master. The semi-transparent mineral dishes used to serve wagashi (a traditional Japanese confection) are part of the current exhibition by Japanese glass artist Yukie Satoh（佐藤幸惠）. Store manager Sih-jin（思瑾）says, “We hope to bring life and art closer together through the tea ceremony.”

 

　After enjoying tea, there are intriguing and entertaining bazaars to explore at the Pier-2 Art Center. Organized by Little Guy Marketing Studio（小人物行銷工作室）, summer art parties with the themes of “Cool,” “Art,” and “Time” will be held on the fourth and final weekends of June at the Penglai Area’s（蓬萊區）outdoor plaza and Dayi redbrick promenade in the Pier-2 Art Center.
