WELCOME

The Children's International Art Exchange

InnerLight Studios is in transition to grow! Stay tuned as we become focused on children, their desire for peace, friendship and understanding and their artistic expressions. Now with the access to the internet, more of the world is easily seen and understood. Inspired to renew her successful 1988-1992 efforts of US-Soviet Children's Art Exchanges, Spring Ursula Thomas is now renewing and expanding this concept worldwide to any child anywhere through The Children's International Art Exchange.

April 2010 UPDATE
The Children's International Art Exchange: On a most recent trip to the United States wonderful connections with the Seattle Tashkent Sister City Association (Uzbekistan) were re-established. Both Uzbek Consul General Gary Furlong and Board President Diana Pearce expressed encouragement and the desire to be kept abreast of all developments for the Art Exchange!

Inspiring times were spent with Catska Dmitrieva who was nine years old when she became involved with the first Children's Art Exchange in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. She is now a professional fine artist living in Port Townsend, Washington, U.S.

A Seattle-based Children's Art Consultant who works internationally has donated her time and expertise to bring the business plan and strategy further to completion. This is the next important step to complete before involving anymore children than those initially participating.

We have educational professionals from numerous countries and states in America waiting for the green light to go with children's art from around the world.

It is imperative to have our first phase of development and strategy both clear and sustainable.

Please understand how important this is. If you are someone who would like to help with financial contributions or know of a foundation that is keen to support this effort, please get in touch with us using our Contact page.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about what we're doing and our intention and vision to live in a peaceful world.
