We Are The World’s Exposition



INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN’S ART EXHIBITION WE ARE THE WORLD LONDON 2024

On March 16, 2024, in the luxurious hall of the Sofitel St. James Hotel in London, the opening of the international exhibition of children’s drawings We Are the World took place, which is being held for the second time in the capital of Great Britain. The goal of the project is to identify and support talented children, give them the opportunity to express themselves and declare their talent at the international level.

The exhibition featured about 350 children’s drawings from the UK, France, Belarus, USA, Kazakhstan, Russia, Germany, Canada, Malaysia, Indonesia, Georgia, Hungary, Taiwan, Australia, China, Sweden and Bahrain. The opening of the exhibition was attended by representatives of the Embassies, cultural and artistic figures, participants with parents and teachers from the UK, Malaysia, USA, Taiwan, Indonesia. Many of them traveled a long way so that children could attend the event and receive a diploma from the organizers and words of support from the jury.

The We Are the World competition, which was first held in 2018, attracts the attention of the public in different countries. Exhibitions of the participants’ works were repeatedly held in the Parisian Carrousel du Louvre, at the Sofitel Paris le Faubourg, as well as in London, Astana, Dubai, Los Angeles, and Seoul. Publications from France, England, the UAE, China, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Malaysia call WATW exhibitions the most prestigious exhibitions of children’s drawings in the world.

The jury of We Are the World included: Karine Danielyan (Great Britain), Jefferson Lim (Malaysia), Ekaterina Cherkasova (France), Wenjin Li (Germany), Chang Kai Liao (Taiwan). For the second time, Svetlana Cameron, a portrait artist from Great Britain, heads the jury in London. The jury had a difficult task: to identify the winners of the competition. The level of work was very high.
