New Zealand Childrens Art House Foundation Trust

 
"Creative Children Ensure Creative Communities"
 The first New Zealand Children's Art Club opened in 1993. 
The first New Zealand Children's Art House was officially opened on the North Shore of Auckland in 1996.
The New Zealand Children's Art House Foundation Trust was established in 1999 to develop 
Children's Art Houses throughout New Zealand.













The NZCAHFT believes:

 *   It is a fundamental right and necessity for children to explore their creativity
      within safe, valued community projects

*    That art is the foundation for developing peaceful, beautiful, healthy, happy civilizations 
The NZCAHFT has adopted: 




The United Nations  "Culture of Peace" 
  
                          "Love Art & Be Kind To Each Other"                                      





The NZCAHFT

* Encourages exhibitions, performances and art networking by children locally, nationally and internationally.

* Supports co-operative projects and is staffed by highly trained teachers and artists who encourage the

Individual Artistic Experience (IAE)
