EVERYONE CAN BE AN ARTIST

Exhibition of paintings by people with mental disabilities

EVERYONE CAN BE AN ARTIST presents paintings created by people with intellectual disabilities. The aim of the project is to give visibility to their art and encourage them to keep creating.

“Art is about different perspectives on the world. It allows us to see through the artist’s eyes, refreshing our own view and enriching our imagination. Each of these artists creates within their own world, and we are invited to step into it,” says Magdalena Westman, art therapist and member of the expert jury.

This is a unique project that brings together people with intellectual disabilities from across the Czech Republic, and with participants from Slovakia it is now gaining an international dimension.
This year, 244 artworks were submitted, and 197 of the most compelling will be exhibited. The artists represent a wide range of intellectual disabilities — the youngest participant is 5 years old and the oldest 81.

Theme: MY COLORFUL WORLD
