Paralym Art World Cup 2020 Launches To Promote Artists With Disabilities
Tokyo Culture | 2020.04.30 |
With Paralym Art however, they do much more than just the PARALYM ART WORLD CUP! As a tie-up with the ongoing crowdfunding project on our sister site, Japankuru Funding, we want to introduce you to one of the rewards that is being offered, the Paralym Art EcoBag, and showcase some of the designers and the designs of the bags themselves!
• They work with artists with disabilities using their art and designs and so on
• They pay royalties of 50% to all of their artists that are registered with them and whose work they use
• Anyone can join no matter which disability they have
• From April 2018 to March 2019 they saw the remuneration to artists total 11,869,393 Yen
About 7% of the Japanese population has a disability, which means 4.36 mil with physical disabilities, 1.08 mil with intellectual disabilities, 3.92 mil with mental disabilities. In regards to People under 65 with disabilities there is about 4.15 mil (physical: 1.08 mil, intellectual: 790,000, mental: 2.28 mil)
It’s not uncommon to find that some of these people with disabilities work in public / private companies, with them numbering about 530,000 people. (Of disabled people working, about 70% are physically disabled)
A white paper on disabled people was released in 2019 by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, with the poverty rate for people with disabilities being at 56% where the general population sit at about 16%. This leads to number of users of disability welfare services being about 1.12 mil. This means that all the work that Paralym Art do, is incredibly beneficial for society, and more needs to be done for these people at risk!
