We are announcing the 4th ArtBeat - Pakistan's largest visual arts project for children and youth.
ArtBeat's vision is to promote visual culture, understanding of issues among children and youth from their own perspective, celebrate children as artists and present children's view as a point of discourse for adults and community.
For this year’s 4th ArtBeat we want to allow children to freely express themselves, connect with family, friends and values, and imagine their country from their own perspective, to celebrate in retrospect, the wonderful things Pakistan has to offer.
Over the last 3 years, ArtBeat has engaged nearly 11,000 children & youth from 190 schools and 28 community organisations, 2,000 children have attended workshops, prizes worth of nearly Rs.10,00,000 has been distributed and organized 6 exhibitions in Lahore and Islamabad.
A series of workshops are organised in public schools, selected young artists work with senior artists and open-house visits of children to College of Art and Design are organised.
Submission for 2015 ArtBeat is open now.
