In Week 43, children and young people in Nuuk will have the opportunity to unleash their creativity when a new arts and culture week kicks off.
The Sermersooq Municipal Authority and the Katuaq Cultural Center are behind Pikialaarfik, which aims to give children and young people the opportunity to try out various forms of artistic expression and experience the joy of creating together with others.
Throughout the week, there will be a variety of activities at different locations in Nuuk. The program includes creative workshops and classes on making bookmarks and face painting, as well as concerts, art exhibitions, and fashion shows.
Culture Week will officially open with Ammaanersiorneq at Katuaq.
Several local cultural and recreational organizations are helping to organize the activities. These include, among others, Allunnguaq, Allattarl’, Nunatta Atuagaateqarfia, the Music School, NAPA, the recreational clubs, and Kittat.
The works created by the children and young people during the week will subsequently be exhibited at Katuaq.
Must return every year
Pikialaarfik is not intended to be a one-time event. Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq and Katuaq have entered into a three-year agreement, which means that children and young people in Nuuk will be offered a week focused on art and culture once a year.
The goal is to strengthen children’s and young people’s understanding of and experience with the value of art and culture, Katuaq states in a press release.
