Summer art school

The summer art school is a week long, open and free art- and- community project for children and adults. With two sessions every day, one with primary school aged children in the morning, one with adults in the afternoon, it is a school for drawing and painting and all things of art. You don't need to be good at all this, but you should be curious and open to express your ideas and what you see around you. At the end of the week we will show and celebrate the outcomes in a community event.
