CHILDREN’S DAY

Children’s Day was an event we organised in Minerva Art Academy Groningen in 2017, in collaboration with De Vrolijkheid and Minerva Art Academy. It brought together children from local schools Nassauschool and Parcival College, and the asylum seeker centre school Clockschool in Oude Pekela for a fun day of painting, instrument making, and music workshops.
