“There is no greater revelation than a society that knows how to care for its children.” Nelson Mandela
On April 12, the Communale in Saint-Ouen will welcome the Super Céleste association for a day dedicated to giving children from all backgrounds the chance to create and dream together.
As part of the new Super Céleste campaign, which this year features Planète Enfants & Développement as the latest “star” in its constellation, the day will bring together children, families and artists around creative workshops and a collaborative artwork.
Around 500 places are being opened to accommodate 150 to 200 children.
The day is open to all children who register in advance, with priority given to children from associations supported by Super Céleste, as well as to families in the Saint-Ouen area and members of the Super Céleste community.
A day of art and community participation
Guided by around a dozen volunteer artists, this creative afternoon will invite children to take part in a variety of art experiments and discover their own talents.
Two complementary spaces will frame the event.
The Artists' Studio
Super Céleste's solidarity mural
The painter Marion Charlet, winner of the Art Collector Prize 2018 and the Colas Foundation Prize 2016, will lay down the groundwork for the background of a monumental fresco that has been deliberately left unfinished.
Throughout the day, children will add their colorful touches, giving rise to a collaborative work of art.
The Photobooth by Pierre-Elie de Pibrac
The photographer behind the project, winner of the 2021 Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize, will install a photo booth that lets families pose against a variety of backdrops.
Each portrait will be printed on the spot and signed by the artist, thanks to a professional printer provided by Canon.
The Collective Workshops Space
Six creative workshops will give children the chance to explore various forms of artistic expression.

Hope to see you there in force!
