This spring, The Atelier House is opening its doors for our very first Children’s Art Exhibition, celebrating the creativity of artists aged 4-18.

Our theme, A Study of Beauty, invites you to notice the magic hidden in everyday life — the way sunlight dances on your bedroom wall, the pattern of a leaf, the hug from someone you love, or the ripple of water at the beach.

Poet John O’Donohue once wrote:
"Beauty isn’t always about perfection — it’s about the way something makes you feel. Beauty can be found in the ordinary, in kindness, in nature, and in the small moments we often overlook."

Your creative challenge is to look around your world and see where beauty lives. Let your imagination shape it onto the canvas.

Included with Entry

A blank canvas (choice of 3 sizes).
A set of paints and brushes.
An art brief called “The Art of Noticing” — a guide to inspire your child and help them explore the theme of beauty.
