Business Overview

The SHIBUYA INCLUSIVE ART PROJECT is a project to create inclusive art murals to prevent graffiti on the walls of the Toei Bus Shibuya Office. All participants, regardless of disability, age, gender and nationality, worked together to create art using the 17 colors of the SDGs. The project consists of an indoor workshop to design original drawings by tangram and an outdoor workshop to paint actual walls. Many people with disabilities and those in need of medical care participated in the indoor workshops, which included on-site workshops at welfare facilities and online sessions. Nearly 120 people, mainly children, participated in the outdoor workshop. A huge art was completed by a total of 200 participants.
