In a heartwarming collaboration this October, the Royal Talens Foundation provided art materials to Le Nid d'Artistes ("The Artist's Nest"), enabling 30 young artists to bring their imaginative worlds to life through creative workshops in Switzerland. The initiative specifically reached children from modest backgrounds, including young refugees from countries like Iran and Ukraine, who might otherwise not have access to quality art education.

Intensive five-day workshop
During an intensive five-day workshop from October 21-25, 2024 in Le Temps Du Dessin, professional artists, illustrators and teachers Edik Kathykin and Cyrille Saura guided children aged 6-14 in creating remarkable 3D worlds. Each young artist constructed their own miniature theater, complete with wooden background sets and carefully crafted polystyrene characters, animals, and buildings. Using Amsterdam acrylic paints from Royal Talens, the children transformed their creations into vibrant, colorful masterpieces that reflected both real and imaginary worlds.
