In 2009, the first international ParaArt Exhibition with artworks from 16 countries & regions was held in Tokyo, Japan. Since then, the total number of about 700 artworks from all over the world were exhibited in Tokyo through four international ParaArt Exhibitions.
This exhibition aims at promoting the social inclusion of persons with disabilities through their art works. Considering such aim, the Japanese Red Cross Society has decided to give nominal support to the event. It would be great if you could disseminate the information of this event to the relevant people in your country through your National Society and encourage them to apply for the exhibition. For the details, please refer to the organization committee directly as attached.
