Art Prize winning work becomes one-of-a-kind rally car ~ "HERALBONY Art Prize" to be held again in 2026 ~

The theme for 2026 is "There are no limits. Break through barriers and unleash your creativity!"


It has been decided that the international art award "HERALBONY Art Prize 2026" will be held. The exhibition is scheduled to be held at SMBC Earth Garden in Tokyo from late May 2026.

This award was established as a platform to celebrate the brilliant talents of artists with disabilities. At the second HERALBONY Art Prize 2025 Exhibition Presented by Tokyo Tatemono | Brillia, 2,650 artworks were submitted from 65 countries and regions around the world, and the Grand Prix was awarded to La Reine Charlotte (Queen Charlotte) by Evelyn Postick, a resident of France.

In conjunction with the decision to hold the award, submissions will begin on Monday, August 18, 2025. It is hoped that through this award, applicants will be recognized for their talents as artists, rather than as people with disabilities, and that this will pave the way for further success.

Providing a further stage for artists with disabilities from around the world to perform and transforming "differences" into value through the power of art and mobility. The desire of both companies to "change the world together" led to the birth of the world's first newly designed art rally car.

Additionally, from August, Toyota's cultural and exhibition facilities will be selling a series of car accessories featuring Furushiro's "Flying" and "A Herd of Whales," a work by Daisuke Shibuta, winner of the Toyota Motor Corporation Award at the HERALBONY Art Prize 2024 held in 2024.

The steering wheel cover, bead cushion, and 2-way cushion are all products that make the experience of "moving" itself more comfortable and enriching, and combine design and functionality to bring the power of art into everyday life.
