We believe that this is the way cities and society should be, and we provide opportunities and places for each individual to express their own interests and worldview, focusing on creations such as painting, hand-weaving, embroidery, and felt, as well as planning and operating galleries. We are doing We actively present our works at special exhibitions held twice a year at the attached gallery, external exhibitions introducing art by people with disabilities, and public exhibitions. We also process the completed paintings, embroidery, and weaving to create and sell a variety of products such as bags, pouches, earrings, and brooches. Basically, we don’t all do a specific program for each day of the week; instead, we each choose what we want to work on that day and work on our creative activities at our own pace.
