Kids love body paint, too!
Have you ever walked into an art studio where stories from each canvas are from a child’s paint brush? There’s something about kids enhancing their talents and skills at a very young age. It inspires and amazes you that these kids are developing, but can give so much through their talents. How much more when a nine-year old and a seven-year old kid organizes a bazaar in an art studio? Believe it or not, Venice Lim and Vania Lim, art students in Artissimo Art House, organized a Chipmunk Sale last July 8, 2018.
Artissimo Art House, Cebu’s first and only walk-in contemporary art studio and art gallery, is happy to collaborate with their art students in organizing the chipmunk sale.
The Chipmunk sale is a children-themed indoor activity that features a bazaar, wherein kids from ages 4-12 manage their own booths and sell their preloved items—clothes, books, bags, shoes and toys.
With sisters Venice and Vania coming up with a kid’s bazaar idea, other art students that were interested joined the fun and became business kids themselves. The idea bloomed out of fun and camaraderie among the art students who attended the 2018 Summer Art Workshop in Artissimo Art House. The idea turned into one major fun event for them this month.
“The Chipmunk Sale is one way of encouraging young kids like myself to learn about sharing and at the same time learn how to be young business persons.” –Venice Lim
Artissimo Art House for its part also organized a kid’s art exhibition called, “Create and Share”, taking place on the same day. Different kids’ artworks like drawings and paintings were up for display at the Artissimo gallery walls.
Later in the afternoon, the art auction took place for those who wished to buy the kid’s amazing artworks on display. These art students do not only promote entrepreneurship at a very young age, but also generosity. Part of the proceeds of the art auction will go towards Everlasting Hope Cebu (EHC), a temporary shelter for children with cancer, located in Happy Valley in Cebu City.
“Everyone had a great time shopping with our kiddo bazaaristas and went home happy with their items. The art auction has greatly helped our beneficiary in its project for the center which we take by heart. We will be soon be participating a repainting activity for their center for which we are able to extend funding support.” -Artissimo Art House
Artworks from artist’s alley
The guests enjoyed the artist’s alley, too! These booths were managed by teens and adults artists selling their various artworks. There were several fun activities for everyone to enjoy such as live drawings live paintings and art merchandises.
There wasn’t a time wasted; everyone was roaming and visiting one booth to another. From the chipmunk sale, to the artworks displayed and to the artist’s alley—any artsy soul couldn’t get enough.
