Business Overview
2021 "Picture Postcard Appreciation Event" is a remote appreciation program in which art communicators communicate with children in orphanages through picture postcards of art works. Mail is sent between the two facilities three times over a period of about two months, and children spend time at the facility learning how to look at postcards in different ways. Features of the program: ・ Children exchange messages and comments with an art communicator and enjoy art written in words. - Program design in line with requests (Timing, duration, participation of hospitalized children, etc.) of orphanages through interviews and questionnaires from the preparatory stage to the post. * Children can enjoy a wide variety of postcards from museums around the world as if they were museum artworks with a designed original appreciation kit. The language of the children is important, and more than four art communicators will respond to each child on the first and second flights.

Profile
【knock-knock】
After studying dialogue and appreciation at the Tobira Project, art communicators in their 30s to 60s from various backgrounds (who completed a 3 year term at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum and Tokyo University of the Arts "Tobira Project") established knock-knock in 2014 to create opportunities for those who have few opportunities to encounter art to come in contact with it.
* The "Let's Go to the Museum" program was held 22 times from August 2014 to February 2020.
* The remote viewing program "Picture Postcard Viewing Event" was held 8 times from August 2020 to December 2021.
