The 50th International Children's Exhibition of Fine Arts Lidice - 2022

The International Children’s Exhibition of Fine Arts Lidice (ICEFA Lidice) was established in 1967 to commemorate child victims from the Czech village of Lidice murdered by the Nazis during World War 2 and all children who have died through war.

Beginning in 1973 , this global exhibition is into its 50th year. It has become a well known international exhibition .

Up to 25,000 great works of art are submitted not only from the Czech and Slovak republics but also from 60-70 other countries.

Three years ago, thanks to the generosity of a Tauranga couple with family connections to the Village of Lidice, the Incubator became involved encouraging the first ever New Zealand child artists to submit. Since then, the children have won both awards and medals. Because of the sponsorship from this family all costs of sending the artwork have been covered.

Theme for submissions 2022

Every year, the exhibition carries a unique theme, chosen by the Lidice Memorial in cooperation with UNESCO.

The Convention on the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2022. The Czech Republic will also become a place where museums from all over the world meet at the General Conference of ICOM - the International Council of Museums.

The following theme was chosen for the 50th International Children's Art Exhibition Lidice 2022:

MUSEUM

Thanks to museums, we can learn about the diversity of the world and common history.

Collections in museums are preserved, studied and exhibited professionally. Items cover from minerals to dinosaur skeletons to technical inventions.
Museums also have galleries with famous or local works of art .
Museums are often beautiful buildings, but sometimes we find open air museums that show people the culture of their ancestors and to realize the beauty of the landscape in which they grew up.
Museums can also include botanical and zoological gardens .
