About the artist
30 primary schools; 100 classes and 1100 children + Scharrelkunst + Cultuurstation
Visual artist Sabien Rutten initiated the light artwork FLOATING COUNTRIES in cooperation with the ‘Cultuurstation’ Foundation.
Cultuurstation connects primary schools in Eindhoven with other local, cultural institutions and artists to artistically inspire children. In order to support their teachers, they developed an instruction letter how to design and create the FLOATING COUNTRIES. Additionally, a workshop has been given at the schools to hand over artful tips, technical possibilities and instructions on the use of materials.
The last couple of years, GLOW for KIDS has turned out to be an enormous success. The project contributes to the creative development of children but also offers them a unique experience: to discover their very own work of art in the middle of the GLOW light artworks, in the company of their parents, teachers or other children.
