The Words Bar

A place to exchange about art, for who plays with words or colors, around a sip of wine, in a cosy atmosphere.

Building and creating from scratch an art street in Nanjing. Located in the old Streets behind the presidential palace, our project started about a month ago when my partner bought the first place and started rebuilding it as a bar (need some fuel for all the work to do ). He called for help and then i arrived about two weeks ago. We rebuild and made it all in two weeks and just opened this Saturday 7th (and will be from now on open everyday but Monday from 7.30pm to late). It is called The Words and the idea is a writers / poets / philosophers / any artist bar. We want to emphasize communication, exchange, encounter, words. People will find a cosy place, human size, with diversified and not too loud music, good boose and with reasonable price and a warm atmosphere. Exchange ideas on any topics, talk about art, read poetry, debate on philosophers ideas, or just drink a glass of good old french wine after work and explain about your feelings of our capitalist era. As long as you come here to play with words. We are looking for government financing and waiting for the answer (we built it now with our private founds) to keep on developing but the idea is that with the net income, 40% will go to support 2 to 3 young Chinese writers every year while the rest will be used to keep on developing the street. We want to build there book shops, literary cafes, art galleries, handcraft shops and of course a music bar where people will come and play. But mostly create. It might sound unreal and a far away goal but we are both highly motivated. And young and full of ideas, furthermore in The culture city. So let s make it happen and show China and its artists have a lot to offer! If you re interested in spreading our words, give young artists more opportunity to meet and show their art, and supporting us, just come have a look, a drink and exchange a few words with us.
