Earlier this year we started a beautiful collaboration between the Royal Talens Foundation and Thamon van Blokland and Edwin Otta, in Ghana. They arranged a workshop at the Visual Arts Department of the Archbishop Porter Girls' Secondary School in Takoradi, Ghana.

The Royal Talens Foundation is happy to support the Erasmus MC Sophia Children’s Hospital to bring some colour into the hospital’s waiting room.

In this blog we would like to highlight a lovely foundation in The Netherlands that we support with art materials: Stichting Kunstnest. They give children from 1 to 12 years old the opportunity to express their creativity without any added pressure. In doing so, the children improve their social, emotional and motor skills.

We would love to share a beautiful project by the foundations Paint a Future (run by Hetty van der Linden) and The Sails of Freedom (Dutch: Zeilen Van Vrijheid. All throughout 2022 and beyond they have worked together on a much-needed project to support Ukraine.

Jeff Olson is a US based artist residing in Seattle, Washington. Moreover, he is the Director of Art Education for Royal Talens North America. We are very fortunate and proud that he supports the values and mission of the Royal Talens Foundation.

Last Sunday, a really beautiful day was had with Stichting Tekenen voor Kinderen (the Drawing for Kids Foundation), in the Amersfoort Zoo.

The Rembrandt Experience was the prize of our painting contest during the Year of Rembrandt in 2019. After three years of Covid restrictions, the event could finally take place in 2022 and provided a sneak peek for the art auction happening in 2023.

For the past two years we have been working together with Kings of Colors alongside Jan-Henk van Ieperen; founder, creative director and curator of Kings of Colors.
