This art exhibition utilizing local childcare facilities was held the year before last and then again last year. This year, under the theme ‘anyone can express themselves creatively,’ the exhibition featured a variety of works not limited to the conventional frameworks of adults or children, people with and without disabilities, professionals or amateurs.
Through the exhibition, organizers aimed to create an opportunity to think together with local citizens about what art is and what diversity is.
Organizers also held events such as workshops, performances by participating artists, and open-to-the-public sessions by artists at work to generate natural interest in the exhibition. Moreover, in consideration of visitor diversity the venue was designed in a ‘barrier-free’ way, captions to works were provided for children, etc.
