Members of the Inagawa delegation will tomorrow view a collection of exciting artworks produced by clients at Pinarc Disability Services.
The seventh annual exhibition in Ballarat, and fourth in a partnership with Pinarc Disability Services, will be on show at Ballarat Town Hall.
The collection was sent to Japan for an exhibition at the Inagawa Town Library in August and has now returned with further artworks from Inagawa-cho, Ballarat’s Sister City. Inagawa Able Art participant Shunsuke Tada, will attend along with his family.
The exhibition will remain in Ballarat until December, when it will be displayed again during International Day of People with Disability on Monday 3 December.
The Able Art Exhibition is a fantastic and unique opportunity for members of Ballarat’s disability community to learn about our Sister City relationship and Japanese culture through visual arts.
The exhibition aims to promote an understanding of people with disability and encourage support for their dignity, rights and well-being.
The day also celebrates and acknowledges the contributions, skills and achievements of people with disability, and seeks to increase awareness of the benefits of the integration of people with disability in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life.
Ballarat and Inagawa are celebrating 30 years since they signed a Sister City agreement.
The Inagawa delegation includes Mayor of Inagawa Choji Fukuda, senior executives from their Town Hall and members of the Inagawa community. The delegation will visit Ballarat for three days.
