People with developmental disabilities went on an art museum outing.

You can enjoy a variety of paintings, including landscape paintings with beautiful scenery, figure paintings of the artist himself, and abstract paintings full of personality.

The artist who painted the artwork is also a person with developmental disabilities.

It adds specialness by expressing the world and objects with different perspectives.

[Song Jong-gu / Artist with developmental disabilities: My interest these days is the endangered sea animal. I expressed a picture of my heart that I don't want to forget about precious things. Thank you for hosting and sponsoring our brilliant days.]

The exhibition featured more than 90 works by nine artists who communicate with the world with their fingertips despite developmental disabilities.

An art museum and welfare foundation run by a shipyard in Ulsan organized and sponsored the exhibition.

It was prepared with the aim of breaking the prejudice against disability and joining together while dealing with works that are not easily accessible.

[Ye Chaeyoung / Ulsan Museum of Modern Art Curator: Through the exhibition, we wanted to show that our art has a pureness without boundaries and has infinite potential. And I hope it will be an opportunity to take a step closer to improving awareness of the disabled.

In line with its purpose, it added meaning by inviting disabled people from the local disabled center to conduct commentary at eye level.

The exhibition of artists with developmental disabilities who overcome various difficulties and dream of "our bright days," as the name of the exhibition, will continue until the 17th.
