The children for whom this project is designed do not enjoy easy access to the museum, so the Children Creating programme extends beyond the Museum’s premises into the largely Arab neighbourhood of Wadi Nisnas, which also has a large number of immigrants from the former Soviet Union and Ethiopia. By promoting art education and integration into areas such as these, with a large number of children who may be “at risk”, this programme offers an opportunity for self-expression and exposure to works of art that they might otherwise miss out on. BFAMI is proud to support this project, the results of which have shown a marked increase not only in the creativity shown by the participants but also in their general schoolwork as well.
