798国际儿童艺术周（以下简称艺术周）由北京798艺术区管理委员会、TCAT思莱德国际少儿艺术中心联合主办，集合社会青少年组织、公益组织、教育组织和艺术界的力量，通过丰富的艺术活动、展览以及讲座，在六一儿童节为孩子们倾力打造一个艺术乐园。希望它能够成为孩子们在六一儿童节收到的最完美的礼物。

本届艺术周主题——“森林计划” ，是由来自全球的“小艺术家”们和著名当代艺术家共同完成的15米巨幅作品“森林”的即兴创作。枝丫长成树木，树木汇成森林，森林是人类赖以生存的基石，同时也具有维护地球生命，改善人类生存环境的生态价值。森林是大自然最美丽的风景；森林是孩子们心中的艺术仙境。在活动过程中，让孩子们和艺术家一起进入艺术的梦工厂，体验绿色的能量，感受艺术的热力，鼓励和激发他们的想象力，进而更多的关注和热爱我们赖以生存的环境；也预示着我们未来的小主人们在社会各界的引导和关注下茁壮成长，成为社会栋梁。

798 International Children’s Art Week is co-presented by Beijing Art District Construction Committee and TCAT Thread International Children’s Art Centre. In and outside of Beijing’s art circles, with the support of juvenile, charity, and educational organizations, we have organized exhibitions and lectures that will make for an educational and art-filled Children’s Day.

Subject of the art week——“Forest Project” Young artists from all around the world and famous Chinese contemporary artists will be improvising a larger than life mural that will depict their interpretation of the “Forest”. Amongst the branches and trees, the forest is a fundamental cornerstone of life on Earth. It sustains all of Earth’s creatures in one way or another, improving ecological value and housing thousands of Earth’s most unique species. The forest can also be valued for its sheer aesthetic proportions; it is a virtual geological cornucopia of artistry. During the activity, children and artists will be falling into factory of dreams, where art (at its greenist) will be facilitated in an attempt to arouse their creativity and compassion. We hope to arouse ecological awareness in all our participants and audience members, by uniting Earth and art on a day that pays homage to our future: our children.

Simultaneously we will be holding a fairy tale-inspired children’s art exhibition. Children from both our own Beijing art community and from the far reaches of the globe have submitted work to exemplify the power of imagination and magic that resides within our children. The exhibition will pay close attention to the psychological development of children and how they choose to express themselves through means of color, forms and artistic exploration. We hope to shed light on the vulnerability of children and how their worldview can be shaped, and how their personalities can be developed and nurtured by art therapy.

TCAT Thread Children Art Training Center was founded in August 2010. Our vision and objective is to arouse children’s artistic creativity, inspire the potential of children’s intelligence, excavate children’s artistic potentiality, training outstanding international talents of art and infusing more fresh and active strength into Chinese Art Circles and Creativity Circles. We believe that these future masters will become towering trees in the forest of our community, and they will be carved into pillars of our society under the guidance and attention of all social circles.

We will also be holding the following lectures:

<Fairy Tale> children’s art exhibition
An exhibition that will pay close attention to children’s psychology and care groups for vulnerable children（2011.06.01-2011.06.07）
<The importance of art for children’s creation> Art Lecture Speaker: Xiong Wenyun teacher ( 14:30pm, June 4th , 2011)

<Words are not Enough: An exploration into art and its effects on the psychology and development of children> Speaker Jesse Perlstein (U.S.A) (14:30pm, June 5th, 2011)

We hope to see you then!
