The Department of Education released information on the 2026 Taipei City Special Education Students Joint Art Exhibition. Registration is open from now until August 3, with artworks to be submitted to the Taipei School for the Hearing Impaired, validated by postmark. The call for entries includes two categories: "Thematic" and "Free Creation," which can be flat drawings or 3D works. Selected pieces will be exhibited at the National Taiwan Arts Education Center from September 24 to October 14.
The Department of Education stated that starting from the 2025 academic year, the Special Education Students Art Exhibition generates different themes based on various exhibition venues. This time, the theme is "Blooming with Art," encouraging special education students to combine the exhibition location—the National Taiwan Arts Education Center—and the surrounding landscape of the nearby Botanical Garden. They are invited to translate animals, plants, and the ecosystem into marks of artistic creation and spiritual growth, embarking on a creative journey of "plants, ecology, and growth" to unleash their hidden strengths.
For instance, in 2025, the exhibition was held at the 2nd-floor plaza of Songshan Airport's T2 Domestic Terminal with the theme "Flying with Art," guiding special education students to express their dreams, nature, family, and childhood joy with sincere emotion.
The Department of Education emphasized that the Special Education Students Art Exhibition aims to encourage students to break through their personal difficulties and gain confidence. For example, in 2023, four special awards were added to recognize the efforts of four special education schools in Taipei, commending students for bravely painting and telling their own stories through their works. It is hoped that in 2026, the artistic talents of special education students will continue to grow under nurturing care, just like plants.
