Happy holidays!
Dear community,
As we say goodbye to 2023, we cannot ignore the numerous challenges and unexpected events that marked this year. But here's the thing: art and colours might not be magic wands, but they sure do make life a bit brighter! In times like these, creativity is key, and art can unlock new perspectives, bring people together, and even inspire change. That's why we're thrilled to have you on board with us.
Together, we're empowering young minds to paint a more colourful future for all. Our team is excited for our upcoming projects that aim to bring children and young people together through the shared joy for creativity. We're eager to team up with anyone who shares our passion. So, feel free to reach out to us if you have some colourful ideas for 2024.
From everybody at the Royal Talens Foundation we wish you happy holidays and a colourful 2024!
Warm wishes, Jinwen
Projectmanager at the Royal Talens Foundation
