Child 21

Aizu International Children's Art Society

• This society is an organization formed to promote and encourage cultural art exchanges between the children of Japan and children of other countries.

• This society hopes to instill in the next generation a sense of global awareness and understanding by offering an opportunity where children from all over the world can learn about and enjoy each other through exchanging their artwork.

• This society is run and operated by both individual volunteers as well as various community organizations that sponsor cultural activities in the City of Aizu.

• All artwork submitted to this society both local and that from overseas will be exhibited together publicly during the year. (Date yet to be determined.)

• This society desires to establish an "Art Museum for the Children of the World" and provide the opportunity for a year-round exhibition. The society members realize this vision requires a long-term commitment to which they are dedicating themselves.
