"We envisage a future in which the HERALBONY Art Prize becomes as stately as a social movement. Its essence is rooted in an orientation to seek harmony between life and art, as in the Arts and Crafts movement that sprouted in England in the 1880s. We are supported by various companies and public institutions. However, this award challenges the conventional capitalist economy centered on able-bodied people and proposes the new normal. The creativity of these diverse artists from many different countries will color the world and our hearts with excitement and enrichment. Radiate Your Color."
