Welcome to TCK ART!
A very warm welcome to all TCKs!
TCK ART aims to foster a creative encounter to art making that places transcultural experiences at its heart. Key to the vision of TCK ART is to engage in creative expression and exploration within a safe and supportive space that values and promotes cultural inclusivity and diversity.
TCK ART shares the ideology of cultural pluralism, working together, supporting each other and promoting the work of other third culture artists. TCK ART also provides an online gallery to display TCK artists’ artwork. Monthly art workshops provide an opportunity to take part in “open art studio” events with a focus on your own project and/or themed events which may focus on creative writing, poetry, painting drawing, and expressive dance, to mention a few. You are also welcome to propose and facilitate art events.
TCK ART has been created by Laura Cariola as part of a public engagement event. TCK ART acknowledges and embraces the need for creative expression and exploration in all transcultural individuals, no matter what age. TCK ART also offers a way for artists with a third culture background to support each other and to share a virtual art studio.
