"Creative Children
Ensure Creative Communities'

The New Zealand Children"s Art House Foundation Trust
was established in 1999 to assist the establishment and
development of Children's Art Houses within the communities of New Zealand.
NZCAHFT believes it is a fundamental right and necessity
for children to explore their creativity within safe,
valued community projects

What would you think about a club where the only rules are
"to love art and to be kind to each other?"
Where everyone must follow these rules,
including teachers and parents!
These are the rules of the
New Zealand Children's Art Houses
