After two years of waiting, young up-and-coming artists can now finally embellish Wilhelmshaven's city center again. On Saturday, August 6 and Sunday, August 7, children aged 4 to 11 and young people aged 12 to 17 can once again let off steam artistically with the sidewalk chalks on the Rambla. Inspired by the great artists on Marktstraße, they can give free rein to their creativity in an area of one square meter.
In Wilhelmshaven, children and young people can become artistically active
Children between the ages of 4 and 11 are free to choose their own motif. Whether they conjure up castles in the air out of chalk, create soap bubbles out of paint or make dream images real - the emphasis here is on individuality. From 4.30 p.m., it will also be worthwhile for the young artists to pay a visit to the stage on the Rambla. There, the little ones can look forward to a raffle of attractive vouchers and non-cash prizes for their efforts.
Young people between the ages of 12 and 17, on the other hand, will take part in a competition like the StreetArt professional artists with their art. This year's motto "Peace, freedom, happiness. How do you imagine your future?" is set against very current events of the Ukraine war. In order to promote the talents in the best possible way, they will be provided with professional street painting chalk. On Sunday, a jury will judge the artworks. The winners will be announced around 5 p.m. and can take home a high-quality pastel chalk set and a StreetArt trophy donated by the master stonemason company Steingerecht.
Participation is free of charge for the children and young people. This can be realized not least thanks to the support of the Gerd Möller Foundation and some material sponsors. The Children & Youth StreetArt Festival is organized by the KulturGut e.V. association.
No pre-registration necessary.
