**About the "Genki no Deru Art Executive Committee"**
The committee aims to create a space where people meet and connect through art, promoting a "coexistence society" where everyone respects each other, regardless of disabilities.
Through activities such as artwork creation, exhibitions, and workshops, we recognize the diversity of expression and cultivate a culture that affirms our differences. Art is not just for special people; it is an approach for everyone to express themselves and connect with others.
Believing in this power, we continue to walk with the community towards the realization of a universal society where everyone can engage safely.
