SUMMER ART SERVICE 2010

Fifteen students and three art teachers art schools in partner cities: Brno, Kharkov and Jyvaskyla participate in the art workshop "Summer Art Service" between 25 and 31 July in Poznań.

International art workshop for young people
"Summer Art Service" is a workshop run by artists specialising in visual arts. It takes place in a Cytadela park, where children paint, draw and create spatial objects using various and often unconventional materials such as scrap metal, industrial waste, etc.

"Summer Art Service" is an initiative dating back to 2000. It is a yearly event for young and little artists from Poznań and abroad, organised between July and August by the Children's Art Centre.

The art workshop was already realised with children from Kharkiv/ Ukraine, Pozuelo de Alarcon/ Spain, Gyor/ Hungary and Brno/ Czech Republic. This year partner cities: Kharkiv, Brno and Jyvaskyla/ Finland were invited as well.

Groups from twin cities are accompanied by volunteers from Poznań - translating, showing the city and helping to find the way to different interesting events planned in the programme. Cultural programme, accommodation and board is provided for them by the City Hall of Poznan

In 2010 apart from the workshops in the park children participate in:
-workshops run in "KontenerART" (mobile independent cultural center),

-educational programme in the New ZOO Garden, where they'll arrive by Park Railway Maltanka,
-city tour with a guide,
