An exhibition and briefing session of Wall Art Festival will be held again this year. The Wall Art Festival is a global educational support effort through art that began from the simple idea of wishing to convey to the children of India what art can do and how much fun school can be. Using the walls of a school in a small village in India as canvasses, artists from both Japan and India paint artworks of modern motifs and hold a festival. But it is not just about that. Why is it not monetary support or giving away goods, but support through art? Why are they able to hold such an enthusiastic festival? What are on the minds of the organizers, artists, volunteer staff that make them so passionate? The staff members in India and participating artists will relate their stories about how they overcame a number of obstacles, the objective and path of the project, and how the festival went on the day. Anyone with even a slight interest is welcome, so please come. (Ono)
