Showcase of Artwork from Children Around the World
Over 1500 children from around the world participated this year. Some of the best pieces were chosen to be exhibited in Canterbury. The event was open to all and sundry and free to attend.
Some of the young artists and their families of the shortlisted works flew to England for this prestigious event, which was presided over by Thibeau Dhaenens from CAEB’s Examination Executive Council.
Warnborough’s president, Dr Brenden Tempest-Mogg, welcomed everyone with a short speech and congratulated all the young artists on their fantastic creativity. This year featured crafts as well, in the shape of plush toys and 3D artwork. Over 300 pieces of art were displayed in the Clagett Auditorium, the Kentish Barn, and the Campanile Garden.
The young artists were called up on stage with their artwork to receive their certificates from Dr Brenden. Thrilled family members got their chance to go on the stage as well for photographs. The event moved on to the Campanile Garden for outdoor photographs and a more relaxed atmosphere.
The CAEB initiative aligns very much with Warnborough’s philosophy of inspiring the younger generation to develop and practise their creativity, while building up their self-confidence and problem-solving skills. The next CAEB presentation will take place in Jakarta, Indonesia in November 2025.
Credit goes to My Art Studio International for their tremendous role in organising the examinations every year across multiple countries. Thank you also to Teck Yeong Ng, Deepak Francis and Dr Jasmine Ng for their tireless work in setting up (and taking down) the exhibition.
