2019

For two days, the Malura Museum near Landsberg, Germany, was transformed into a large art studio. Almost 50 children and teenagers aged between five and 15 were able to put their artistic abilities to the test. Four artists guided the young participants. In addition, ten assistants were on hand to ensure that everything ran smoothly and to provide the children with food and drinks.

Andrew Malura demonstrated his skills as a cook and converted the Malura studio, located on a slope, into a large spaghetteria. The street in front of the museum became a big playground.

The artistic program was varied and challenging. Martin Blumöhr inspired the children to create imaginative comic figures and include some details in bright neon colors. Under the guidance of Monika Dittmar-Brückner, the children created wonderful acrylic paintings on canvas and colorful wax pictures.

With Laura Stracke, the participants designed glass mosaics and built a tree to present them on. Steven Hicks helped the children to make masks depicting animal or human faces. The children then dressed up in costumes to present the masks they had created.

On the second day, a big vernissage took place, where the works of art were admired by parents, grandparents and friends. Politicians and representatives from sponsors of the event were also present. The creativity and enthusiasm of the children impressed everyone. Many thanks to all the sponsors who made this workshop possible!
