WORLD CHILDREN’S ART EXHIBITION
St. George’s, Grenada, September 23, 2008_The Ministry of Education in collaboration with the Grenada National Commission for UNESCO is proud to inform our schools of The Kanagawa Biennial World Children’s Art Exhibition, held in Kanagawa Prefecture to the south of Tokyo. This event has been held every two years since 1980, and exhibits children’s art from all over the world. It is intended to use the power of painting to foster the dreams and creativity of today’s young children who will go on to become the leaders of tomorrow. The exhibition is also intended to further understand the world’s diverse cultures and differences in global lifestyles.
The previous Art Exhibition was held in May 2007, and saw over 24,000 individual entries from 85 countries. Looking to build on this success, the 15th exhibition is scheduled to be held from July to August 2009. We encourage schools to take part in this worthwhile Exhibition.
