▌Taichung City Government’s vice mayor accompanied the mayor’s wife to the INGO center in Guang-Fu Village on Jul.5. They meet up with the managing director of Taiwan Painting Talk Association.
社團法人畫話協會是一個身心障礙者所營運的NGO,提供開發藝術潛能、培養創作、欣賞與生涯的藝術能力,並建立身障者創作展覽中心。話畫協會特別提到:他們協會所做的並非「藝術治療」,而是「藝術育療」;因為這些孩子需要的是經過這些繪畫刺激引動後帶起的全身心的成長;換句換說,是以「育人」為導向。
▌Taiwan Painting Talk Association is a non-governmental organization ran by the disabled. They offer art lessons and cultivate creativity of the physical-challenged, and have a center to showcase their wonderful painting. Taiwan Painting Talk Association indicated that what they are doing is not art therapy, in stead, it's a more of a "holistic education".
