Gallery Art Workshop Event
Brief Introduction
Two adaptive art workshops were held for gallery visitors to foster invisible connections between individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) and the general public. While creating their own handcrafts inspired by the exhibited works of individuals with ID, visitors engaged with the artworks and the stories behind them. This setup encouraged reflection, empathy, and a deeper appreciation of inclusive creativity through shared artistic experience.

Glove Theatre Making Workshop in Chiba’s Summer Festival (June, 2024)
As part of the gallery’s summer festival event Waku Waku Enichi, the replica workshop of the glove workshop was held for the general public. Inspired by the glove artworks created by individuals with intellectual disabilities, visitors were invited to create their own glove-based fabric collages. Displaying the original works nearby, the workshop encouraged participants to reflect on and connect with the creativity of individuals with ID, fostering inclusive engagement in a festive, community-centered setting.
During the Totteoki no Sakuhin Ten (Special Treasured Disability Art Exhibition), a corresponding Christmas-themed workshop was held for gallery visitors. While surrounded by ornaments created by individuals with intellectual disabilities, participants crafted their own festive decorations. This experience fostered an invisible yet meaningful connection between the public and the artists with ID, allowing visitors to engage with the exhibition through hands-on creation and inclusive reflection.
