THE CHILDREN’S ARTACADEMY AND MUSEUM

7th BIENNALE

Xanthi, 2016 -2017

IN THE PATHS OF MUSIC

THE CHILDREN’S ART ACADEMY AND MUSEUM organizes the 7th Biennale of Children’s art which stands for love, peace, friendship, as well as, solidarity among the peoples of the world.

Through the present competition we build bridges among the peoples, respecting their traditions and their uniqueness.

In the 7th Biennale we are urging the children to create works on the theme of music, either abstract or symbolic. To record in their work the moment’s enthusiasm, the sounds of music emerging from their tradition, but also the sounds created by musical instruments of their native land. They may also paint musical instruments or musical moments which made a strong impression on them and stayed in their memories. Another focal point may be the future, that is a particular domain of the children, and they can paint imaginary musical instruments.

What we expect to hear as a result, are the Paths of Music of our planet Earth.

The participants in the 7th Biennale 2016 - 2017 are kindly asked to send us (if possible) a Compact Disk with traditional music, preferably performed by children, so it may be included along with traditional music of other places in our official catalog.

We are waiting for your works with great anticipation and we wish you all GOOD LUCK!!!
