LITTLE SUNS UNITED / over 500 suns shining

The Little Suns United’ is an international and inclusive project that connects children across cultures and borders - regardless of their origin, religion, or social background. At the heart of the project is creative expression, inspired by the sun as a symbole of life and connection.

Every year, the paintings created during the Little Suns workshops are brought together in an exhibition Little Suns United, forming a monumental field of light - a sybol of hope and peace.

Since the project was launched in 2023, more than 800 children from around the world have already taken part. The project has been presented at Creaviva at the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern, at Machteld Aardse Studio in Amsterdam, at Museum Rietberg in Zurich and at Fondation Lascaux.

> Impressions of Little Suns United in Amsterdam

Little Suns - a painting project with children for a peaceful future is continued annually by the Foundation Lascaux.
