Past Events
The 4th World Children’s Festival
Washington D.C. at the Great Mall
June 18th, 2011
2:00 P.M.
Workshop Presented by author and artist Rose Offner and Paintbrush Diplomacy
Paintbrush Diplomacy was excited to participate in the World Children’s Festival, sponsered by the International Children’s Art Foundation, where children and young people gathered for the workshop led by author and artist Rose Offner and Executive Director of Paintbrush Diplomacy, Louise Valeur.
Over seventy countries were represented at the 4th World Children’s Festival in Washington, D.C. It is the largest creative event for children in the world.
The art created by participants in the workshop will travel the world.
Everyone who visited and participated in the workshop made new international friends. We were even given a private concert from the young boys from Uganda who sang their national anthem. It was fantastic and heartfelt.
But, what surprised us most was the predominance of toddlers, all budding artists.
With over forty children painting, we needed all the help we could get. Therefore, our warmest thanks goes out to ICAF for the invitation to participate, and we could not have managed without the help of Maryam from ARMAN, the Vargo family, Brandon Bragato, and Marika Kelderman. We want to express our appreciation for everyone who pitched in to help make this a great day.
