Outline

In October, Art Brut Tachikawa 2017 will exhibit roughly 60 works at the Special Room and Gallery Square at Isetan Tachikawa. Art brut by people with disabilities exhibits the ultimate expression of pure, innate creativity, filling spectators with an inimitable sense of wonder. By bringing that stirring experience to a broader audience, Art Brut Tachikawa aims to create a deeper appreciation of the expressive capacities and limitless imaginative power in all of us.
The Executive Committee, a group of local residents, is working with a wide variety of companies, organizations, individuals, government agencies, social welfare councils, and Isetan Tachikawa—all united in the Committee’s vision—to bring an art brut exhibition to life. Through the Art Brut Tachikawa program, the Committee is determined to help people with disabilities become vibrant parts of society.
