Organized by GEG, co-organized by Forward Fashion Group and curated by BE@RBRICK MACAU, the exhibition collaborates with over 10 international and local art units led by renowned Japanese artist Tatsuhiko Akashi, CEO of MEDICOM TOY and emerging Macau local artist MCZ_Thomas. The entire exhibition will showcase over 50 art pieces, aiming to deliver a refreshing exhibition experience through innovative technology, interactive experience, and immersive atmosphere.
As one of the highlights of the exhibition, GalaxyArt will be transformed into an immersive exhibition space for full engagement. As you step into the exhibition hall, the first thing that catches your eye is the BE@RBRICK MACAU 5th-anniversary display, offering fans a rare and delightful opportunity to revisit the highlights from previous years. Adjacent to it is the global debut of the BE@RBRICK digital art exhibit, pushing boundaries by using digital technology to interpret selected BE@RBRICK designs and creating a genuine interactive experience.
At the heart of the hall lies the ingeniously designed "BE@RBRICK Garden" Mirror Room and "BE@RBRICK Infinity" Immersive Room. These areas feature multifaceted, dazzling reflections and all-encompassing light projections, captivating the audiences in a mysterious and enchanting space, offering an immersive experience surrounded by the world of BE@RBRICK. Another highlight is the special edition BE@RBRICK 1000% created by Macau artist MCZ_Thomas, which incorporates elements that symbolize Macau, craftsmanship and the galaxy, expressing the artist's deep thinking about humanity, the universe, and the future. Moreover, the artist will also personally host the "MCZ_Thomas Master Class - Graffiti Art Painting" tote bag graffiti workshops every weekend during the exhibition period.
While the BE@RBRICK exhibition located in the Pearl Lobby, forms an urban oasis where natural foliage meets sci-fi gradient lighting. A full showcase of 12 limited edition BE@RBRICKs from the brand-new BE@RBRICK MACAU 2023 collections is interspersed within, leading the visitors to explore their inner Surreal Garden. Visitors can also interact to get BE@RBRICK themed filters, or to take and print photos with BE@RBRICK element as souvenir.

As a long-term and non-profit art space, GalaxyArt has been dedicated to supporting the diverse development of local culture in Macau since its unveiling in July 2021.
