“ I like painting when I was young.I could bury myself in painting with a paintbrush and a sheet of paper”, said from Ms. Yi Fang Wu, the artist winning the ticket for exhibiting her masterpiece “ Queen’s Head” in 2022 in Tokyo . Fortunately, the 4^th International Art Exhibition would take place as scheduled from April 13^th to April 24^th unaffectedly by COVID-19.

This is the 4^th open exhibition held by the Nippon Foundation for the artists with disabilities. It aims to leverage the power of art and to encourage the persons with disabilities engaging in artistic activities. All of the artists with disabilities is the same as normal artists with much more potentials. Furthermore, they are worthy to be seen and respected. Eden has been standing by the persons with disabilities with many events and activities. We assist the artists with disabilities to apply for the entries of annual international art exhibition every year. Ms. Yi Fang Wu was the first artist with disabilities in Eden Social Welfare Foundation elected as one of the artworks and display in Tokyo. It’s a milestone for Eden on helping the persons with disabilities in art. In the following years, Eden is expected to put all-our effort embarking on helping the artists with disabilities via more events related to art. We would be looking forward to cooperating with the Nippon Foundation.
