1. Big Heart Project (Workshop)
Chofu City has been implementing the "Chofu City Para Art Exhibition" since the 29th year of Heisei as part of its efforts to enhance a symbiotic society. In this exhibition, works created by members who are active in welfare workshops in the city are displayed. This year, as a supporting project for the "Para Art Exhibition," we will be implementing the "Big Heart Project" that anyone can participate in. In line with "Para Heart Chofu," we will create palm-sized hearts using colorful duct tape and connect the hearts gathered from everyone to complete a large-scale art piece. This project has attracted participation from various fields, including welfare organizations in the city, FC Tokyo players, and artists associated with Chofu. We also invite all visitors to experience the creation of a large-scale art piece.
The coach, players, and staff of FC Tokyo have also written messages in the blue and red heart!
