[Hankyu Umeda] HERALBONY ART PARK Featuring Artists with Disabilities Starts June 17

Hankyu Umeda Main Store is participating in 'Osaka Art & Design 2026,' a city-wide event exploring art and design. From June 17th (Wed) to 22nd (Mon), the store will host 'HERALBONY ART PARK' at the 9th-floor Festival Plaza. The event showcases HERALBONY, a brand that delivers unique art created by artists with disabilities as everyday products, featuring exhibitions and sales of original works by 17 artists.

A highlight is the new program 'Experiencing Creative Time.' Unlike traditional live painting, this initiative allows visitors to experience the artists' daily creative activities, including moments of intense focus and occasional pauses. Artists such as Ikkei Okukameya and Ryoya Akaike will participate on a rotating schedule.

Exclusive items include the 'Space Time' art tote bags (17 types, 8,800 JPY each), pre-sold at Hankyu Umeda, along with new embroidered caps, college T-shirts, and silk scarves. Special talk shows and 'Art Cruises' guided by HERALBONY co-CEOs Takaya and Fumito Matsuda will also be held, providing deeper insights into the stories behind the works and artists.
