Relationship between “welfare and art” policy seen in art for people with disabilities

-Who does art by people with disabilities belong to-

Abstract

Since the 2000s, art by people with disabilities has received a lot of social attention. In this study, from the viewpoint of “welfare and art”, I examined the impact and ripple effect of holding art exhibitions by people with disabilities and their works on policy. As a result of the consideration, firstly, it was an opportunity to develop a support strategy for visually and hearing impaired people who participate in exhibitions as viewers. Secondly, it evokes the concept of art brut, and it became an opportunity to explore the way art for people with disabilities should be. Thirdly, a concrete measure of paying compensation for the value of the work surfaced, suggesting the possibility of transcending the existing fusion of welfare and art. Both findings share the concept of welfare and art, and it is clear that welfare and art are closely related in art for the disabled, but it is thought that the way they are related is undergoing a period of transformation.
