Supporting the creation of an environment for children in developing countries to receive a sufficient education

In "ROSES." 2008, a ROSES. library was built in Cambodia. In "ROSES." 2009, a ROSES. library was built in Laos, and financial support for a long-term girls' program was donated. Last year's "ROSES." 2010 planned support for Sri Lanka, and the charity art exhibition "ROSES." continues to build its achievements steadily.

This year's "ROSES." 2011 will support children affected by the unprecedented Great East Japan Earthquake that struck in March.

While collaborating with artists and celebrities from various fields to help build children's futures, the exhibition also serves as an increasingly substantial platform for many artists to showcase their work each year. Artists create and exhibit/sell works inspired by "ROSES.", and all proceeds are managed and utilized through "Room to Read" (an NGO that establishes educational facilities such as schools and libraries in developing countries).

Additionally, at the same venue, in collaboration with the Italian toy "RODY," celebrities and notable figures will select their favorite colored RODY, sign it (H55×W55cm), and decorate a "MIDDLE RODY" (H21×W20cm). These "RODY & Custom MIDDLE RODY Sets" will be available through a silent auction at the ROSES. charity art exhibition venue.
