The 11th International Festival of Paintings for Pediatric Patients

We are thrilled to invite all our young artists to take part in making this year's IFPPP a truly remarkable event! 

 

The Health and Art Group, affiliated with USERN, is dedicated to fostering the mental well-being of pediatric patients through creativity and expression.

 

Every year, the International Festival of Paintings for Pediatric Patients brings together vibrant and meaningful artworks from children around the world. This festival is a wonderful opportunity for young patients to share their stories through their paintings and unleash their imagination. During the last 10 years, Budapest (Hungary, 2015), Tehran (Iran, 2016), Kharkiv (Ukraine, 2017), Reggio Calabria (Italy, 2018), Budapest (Hungary, 2019), Tehran (Iran, 2020), Istanbul (Turkey, 2021), Muscat (Oman, 2022), Yerevan (Armenia, 2023), and Plovdiv (Bulgaria, 2024) have been hosting the wonderful artworks of the young artists. In 2025, we are going to São Paulo, Brazil! 

 

Hereby, we officially announce the opening for collecting paintings for IFPPP 2025.
