ARTandSEEK is a Non-Profit Association.
We follow the 5 core principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child
and aim for the objectives of the
Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development
Our aim is to help vulnerable children and young adults to express their emotions and creativity through art in order to nurture their self esteem. We believe that engaging with art contribute to raise young people’s awareness of their own roles and potential contributions within society, helping them to grow as responsible and happy adults
We are constantly looking for partnerships with schools and institutions who deal with vulnerable children and young adults to be able to realise our projects.
Contact us if you think your institution might be eligible for the project "ART for all KIDS" and we will be happy to offer a FREE workshop for your kids.

What is the 'ART for all KIDS' project?
WHAT WE BELIEVE IN
Many children and young adults lack opportunities for building solid futures. But perhaps more importantly, they lack the means to express themselves, are not able to deal with traumas they have faced and have difficulties to develop new narratives for the future, based on a healthy perspective on the past .
Extensive research has shown that the visual arts hold significant potential for healing in those who have experienced traumas, by providing a springboard for people to express themselves and tell their stories. This not only includes reflecting on the past, but also forming new ideas and solidifying dreams of the future: the arts enable people to tie past experiences (even negative ones) into a larger narrative of their lives, which builds resilience and motivation, promoting positive social outcomes.
PAST PROJECTS
In June 2022 we realised a 'School of Peace' project with the Comunità di S. Egidio in the Bronx, New York. Scroll down to look at pictures.
FUTURE PROJECTS
ARTandSEEK is developing various partnerships to offer FREE art workshops to children and young adults who have experienced traumas or live difficult situations, to help them express their creativity and better understand their feelings.
