Art without pressure
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.
Stichting Kunstnest has various ateliers throughout the city Haarlem. In these ateliers, also called ‘nests’, the children can experiment with various art styles, meet new friends, and let their imagination run wild. Our society puts a lot of pressure on everyone, even children, but in the ‘nests’ they can take a break from that and just relax with some paint. Isn’t that beautiful?
