Could you have ever dreamed that one day your child’s drawing might be exhibited in a Museum in Florence, a city steeped in history and tradition ? This rare opportunity is now available to your children.

Dear parents, representatives of art studios and schools!

We are pleased to inform you about an exciting international event that will become a bright moment in the creative lives of young artists!

We invite you to participate in the International Children’s Art competition “WE ARE THE WORLD,” which will take place on June 10, 2025, at 3 PM in Florence, at Casa Museo di Dante. Address: Via Santa Margherita, 1, 50122 Firenze

Florence, the cradle of the Italian Renaissance, is a city where art lives everywhere: in its magnificent museums, historic palaces, and breathtaking architecture. The legacy of legendary masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Brunelleschi, and Raphael continues to inspire generations of artists from around the world.

Hosting our exhibition in Florence symbolizes a meeting between the creativity of today’s children and the timeless artistic heritage of Italy — a country that has shaped the history of world art and culture.

About the project “We Are the World”

We Are the World is a prestigious international children’s art exhibitions and competitions that, since 2018, has united talented children from more than 60 countries worldwide.

The project identifies and supports young artists, allowing them to showcase their works in prestigious halls across different countries.

Exhibitions have been held at Carrousel du Louvre (Paris, France), National Opera Astana (Kazakhstan), House of Nationalities and the National Museum of Cosmonautics (Moscow, Russia), the World Summit of Nobel Laureates (Seoul, South Korea), Ornate White Cube (London, UK), Opus Tower (Dubai, UAE), Sofitel Beverly Hills (Los Angeles, USA), Cultural Center of the Kazakh Embassy in France (Paris), Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg, Sofitel St. James (London), i-City (Kuala Lumpur), Yun Artified Art Center (Jakarta), Government Palace of children and youth ( Minsk, Belarus), Lis Flower Hotel (Hsinchu, Taiwan), Art Gallery Vivienne (Paris), White Art Gallery (Los Angeles), International Art Museum Sunshine ( Pekin, China) and the list continues to grow.

At our exhibitions and contests, children have the opportunity to showcase their talent to the whole world, which positively influences their personal development and self-confidence. Participation also helps young artists build a portfolio for admission to prestigious art schools and Universities.

We believe that the best gift we can offer our children is opportunities and education.

Our exhibitions have welcomed renowned artists, Government representatives, Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Education, His Highness Sheikh of Dubai, Cosmonaut V.I Tokarev, representatives of international organizations (UNESCO, UNICEF), ambassadors, and cultural leaders from many countries.

And the brightest stars of our exhibitions are, always, the children.

Florence – a city that inspires artists

Holding our international exhibition in Florence is particularly meaningful. For centuries, this city has been a place where art, imagination and innovation flourish.

Young artists participating in the exhibition will be surrounded by the same inspiring atmosphere that once encouraged the greatest masters of Italian art to create masterpieces that changed the history of humanity.

Florence represents the universal language of art — a perfect symbol for the theme of our exhibition: “We Are the World.”
