■Financial support focused on paintings that showcase the unique sensibilities of people with disabilities

People with disabilities have many opportunities to paint in welfare facilities and other programs, and many masterpieces have been produced that take them to a unique world expressed through their unique sensibilities. By focusing on these masterpieces, we have created a mechanism to support the financial independence of artists with disabilities by converting their "desire" to support them into a form of donation.

However, many people say that the act of donating is "too difficult" or "unfamiliar. Therefore, we launched the "Canvas Art Contest" in the hope that as many people as possible will be exposed to the idea of donation, and that it will also provide an opportunity to learn about the works of artists with disabilities.

Give "feelings" a "form
