More Details in Japanese

For three years from 2018, JAGDA will support artists and athletes with disabilities by making the most of design’s power to connect. As the first round of the project, designers across Japan and abroad designed masking tapes featuring artworks by the challenged artists registered at Able Art Company. The exhibition will launch at Design Hub and travel across Japan throughout 2018. The tapes will be on sale at each venue and proceeds will go to Paralympians Association of Japan.

●Stocks on sale
The stocks are currently available online at JAGDA Online Shop. The proceeds go to Paralympians Association of Japan.
