Profile

[Art appreciation workshop with the visually impaired]
Started activities in June 2012. At least once a month, art workshops are held at art galleries, museums and schools for the blind. We will create a place for people from diverse backgrounds to exchange words, regardless of whether they have disabilities. We aim to create a style of art appreciation where anyone can visit the museum with ease and freely discuss their feelings, impressions, experiences and thoughts.
