Sharjah 24: Eman Ali Turki, director of the Child Care Department at Sharjah Children, part of the Rubu' Qarn for Creating Future Leaders and Innovators Foundation, has announced that the foundation is holding its first art exhibition at 06 Mall, running from 8 to 10 July, with more than 30 pieces created by Sharjah Children members through the fine arts programmes.

Imagination and heritage

The works on show draw on Emirati heritage, the emirate's landmarks and the local environment, reflecting how the young artists see the world around them.

Materials and techniques

Speaking to Sharjah24, Turki said the exhibition brings together a striking mix of materials and styles: wooden pieces sit alongside paintings that experiment with different drawing and colouring techniques, while a set of group works made entirely from recycled materials rounds out the collection. She said the recycled pieces in particular help instil ideas around teamwork, sustainability and creative thinking among the children involved.

Young talent platform

Turki added that the exhibition was designed to put the skills and talents of members at Sharjah Children's centres on public display, giving visitors a chance to see the breadth of what the children have created. She said the foundation remains committed to backing young talent and helping members grow their abilities across different creative fields.
