Descrizione dell'organizzazione

TuArt Art Studio is a place where creative activities are held for everyone who needs creative activity, is open to new cultures. The Foundation regularly carries out workshops in drawing, painting, art history, photography, sculpture, handicraft, and prepares for art high schools and universities.
Both children from 3 years of age and adults participate in the classes.
There are 8 groups open during the school year. There can be up to 10 people in a group, but most often it is about 7-8 people. Classes last from 1h to 2 hours - depending on the age group.

Meetings are held once a week. In addition to group classes, there are also individual classes for intellectually able people as well as for people with mild disabilities - Down's syndrome, the spectrum of autism (from autism to Asperger's syndrome). In this case, the classes take the form of arthritis therapy and play a role in including people with fewer opportunities.

Apart from cyclical classes, many other events take place in TuArt. There are fairy tale evenings, creative birthdays and family workshops (such classes take place at the weekend). The studio organizes happenings, exhibitions, concerts, trips to the open air painting and to museums and galleries.

In order to integrate the artistic local community, it cooperates with similar creative studios, cultural institutions, schools and artists from Silesia.
Art classes in TuArt support comprehensive development. They give the joy of creation, make people sensitive to the surrounding beauty, help them express themselves and, what is most important, strengthen their self-esteem.
