This Year in Budapest, Hungary. "Children's painting will adore walls of hospitals and children clinics in USA, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, India and Belarus" -Nima Rezaei
Semmelweis University of Medical Sciences in Hungary is the Host to the Final Ceremony:
An idea sparked last year, as members of the Heart group, designated for Health and Art proposed to hold a small painting festival among hospitals in Iran to exhibit the artwork of sick children with the ultimate goal of giving them an air to fell productive and explore their skills. And now that sparkle has set into flames as the second, now international, pediatric patients festival has received more than 1300 artwork from kids around the globe, is honored to announce 200 selected artwork to be exhibited in forty health centers around the world and introduce the winners in Budapest, eight kids in each age group.
''This is not what I had expected, It is quite more! Children's painting will adore walls of hospitals and children clinics in USA, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, India and Belarus. This is not an ordinary one-week painting festival, it is love, hope from and goodwill from 24 countries and from a thousand and half, kids that is breezing by this festival'' says Nima Rezaei, head of the work.
Selected artwork have gone no simple way. A thousand paintings were reviewed by Iranian artists in long hours of a three-day, first stage of the referee process. ''A short list was sent out to the internationL jury to select the 200 masterpieces you see in this Festival book here'' says Bahreh Jahandoust, top secretary of the Festival, a pride in her voice. Jahandoust and her team have single-handedly organized all events and material for this 2nd IFPPP, not receiving any benefits for any of this!
Budapest: That is were thirty-two kids will receive their prize, next week on September 30th in the closing ceremony of the festival. The Semmelweis university of Hungary has afforded the venue and prices over sea's for the final ceremony in Budapest. Nima Rezaei believes, that making this event such big and public and indeed international one, is for everyone to believe that children mental health suffers as much as the body suffers, during an illness, short or long. The art gallery of Children's Mental Training Center opened it's formal exhibition, as one of the 40 exhibit centers, for the week to come.
And that is not all! Romania, Germany, Tunisia are host to the IFPPP 2017 and years to come.
