"The Town as an Art Museum" has begun exhibiting artwork created by people with disabilities at the Kurosaki PA on the Hokuriku Expressway.

　NEXCO東日本新潟支社（新潟市中央区）は、新潟市が推進する共生社会プロジェクト「ともにプロジェクト」と連携し、E8北陸自動車道（以下「北陸道」）黒埼パーキングエリア（以下「PA」）上下線で、障がいのある方が描いたアート作品の展示を行っています。

We will rent artwork created by people with disabilities from "Machigoto Art Museum cotocoto" ^(*) and provide a space that serves as a "resting place for the mind" where customers using the rest facilities can refresh both their mind and body, thereby promoting awareness of safe and secure driving. In addition, a portion of the rental fee will be returned to the people with disabilities who created the artwork, aiming to connect people with disabilities with society and with each other, and to realize an "attractive inclusive society."

The artworks are changed regularly several times a year, so please be sure to take a look when you stop by Kurosaki PA.
