It's not only special people
who can become artists,
but by allowing to flower the potentials a person is born with,
anyone can become a special artist.
We are an NPO
(non-profit organization)
which creates a new culture in the society
through the art-culture activities of people with
disabilities.
This association was
established in June, 1994, to support the artistic-cultural
activities of people with disabilities.
To arrange the environment for these activities, we hold Exhibitions by
public contribution,
Special
exhibitions, Forums, Workshops, Study tours, Studies,
Researches, Experimental art
studio activities, and
others.
Through this kind of art culture, a new collaboration transcending
various fields such as art, welfare, medical treatment, and
companies, is born.
We would like to create a society where everyone, irrespective of
their disabilities, are able to live happily together through the
freedom and joy of expression.
