SUMMER CAMP // ARTUDIO x Kulturka Art Studio // MY KOSMOS

About this event

This summer, New York’s ARTUDIO will become, for several weeks, a space of international artistic collaboration. The studio will host the European art studio Kulturka Art Studio , dedicated to art education and developing creativity through visual artistic practice. It is a studio founded by Viola Jocz — a renowned educator and curator of children's art. Kulturka’s work is followed by an international community of over 200,000 people. The studio’s original programs are implemented with children, educators, and cultural institutions, and their outcomes are presented and observed by audiences around the world. As part of this collaboration, three on-site, four-day art camps for children will be created. The program is based on Kulturka’s original artistic programs, which combine different fields of art— painting, sculpture, spatial activities, and design. MY COSMOS The My Cosmos camp invites children to enter the world of galaxies, planets, and unknown life forms. The starting point is not drawing space, but building it. Over the course of four days, children will create their own visions of the universe through various artistic activities — from painting to sculpture. The following will be created: – a collective mandala inspired by the structure of galaxies – painterly interpretations of planets and cosmic surfaces – a space-inspired sculpture — Magic Qube , created based on the Creative Sculpture program – cosmic “stones” inspired by meteorites and unknown structures – a bottle with a message to space — a personal communication sent into the universe The camp combines work with imagination and material, allowing children to translate the abstract idea of space into tangible forms.
