Vauclenne is a cultural city where art, literature, performance, and music form the city's authority. People are not rushed, but they are not late either. Cafes, trams, carriages, water buses, and strolls create the rhythm of daily life.
In Vauclenne, the highest authority is not necessarily money. Top painters, writers, composers, and directors are treated as 'cultural aristocrats,' and even old families and the newly rich seek their choices and recognition.
Vauclenne's signature arcade, lined with old bookstores, perfume shops, galleries, and cafes under a glass ceiling. Some upper spaces are only open to invited guests after dark.
After the tourists' day ends, another society of Vauclenne comes alive. Invitations, introductions, guarantees, and reputation. In the night's transactions, one's status from the day is not asked first.
A members-only space where artists, patrons, journalists, collectors, and legal professionals mingle naturally. Not only artworks but also sponsorships, information, introductions, opportunities, and reputations are exchanged.
In winter, Vauclenne is once again filled with light. Festival of Lights, Art Week, Bellemont Season, Midnight Ball. The cultures of day and night fill the same city with different faces.
Seen together three times, it lasts forever.
