Dear friends of art,
November is set to be wonderfully colourful at Urban Art Kids – and this newsletter is full of great reasons to stop by:
Saturday workshops with Rosi Díaz Roigt & Cynthia Alonso: Magical fantasy friends, mysterious forest animals or your very own paper stories – on three Saturdays, there will be shaping, gluing, folding and, above all, imagining at our studio.
Berlin Science Week collaboration: On Friday, 6 November, art meets science – in English! There are still a few spots left for spontaneous creatives: “The Secret Magic Inside You – DNA Art for Kids”.
Calendar Release Party: On Saturday, 14 November, 5–8 pm, we’re celebrating the new Urban Art Kids Calendar 2027 with this year’s theme “Nature” – with the artists joining us in person.
Giveaway: We’re giving away two cinema tickets for the animated film “Wildwood”! Entries close on Monday, 9 November – so be quick!
December preview: The some December dates are already fixed – Bookbinding course on December 5th & Holiday Camp, December 28th-31st. Worth looking ahead!
You’ll find more about all of these below. We look forward to seeing you!
The Saturday Workshops at a Glance
Fantasy Friends – Saturday, 7 November
From newspaper, paste and plenty of imagination, children create their very own fantasy friends: little characters with personality, first sculpted and then brought colourfully to life. A hands-on workshop for getting messy, having fun and being proud.
Forest Animals Workshop – Saturday, 14 November
Fox, owl, deer & co.: from the local forest straight into our studio. Children get to know the woodland’s animal inhabitants in an artistic way – with plenty of room for their own interpretations and experimentation.
Paper Stories Workshop – Saturday, 21 November
Paper can do so much more than be written on! Here children fold, tear, layer and design their own little stories out of paper – sometimes sculptural, sometimes flat, always surprising.
Berlin Science Week Collaboration
Friday, 6 November
To mark Berlin Science Week, there’s one more special course – in English – for those who decide at short notice: “The Secret Magic Inside You – DNA Art for Kids”.
This is where art and science meet: children playfully explore what makes them who they are – and turn DNA, cells and the secrets of life into colorful works of art. A workshop in English that sparks curiosity – about creating as much as discovering!
