IKEA had an idea – to give its products to university students of Fine and Applied Arts from all over Cyprus so as to generate craftworks displaying talent, creativity and heart. Thus, the first “IKEA Follow your Art” exhibition was a great success, as it was not only loved, but also distinguished, winning Gold and Bronze awards at the Carob and Ermis Awards respectively.
This year, wishing to give other youngsters the chance to participate in the exhibition, IKEA is holding the exhibition a second time. The bar has been set even higher and the anticipation is even greater, as both the number of university entries and the exhibition’s duration will be even greater.
More than 150 students from eight universities across Cyprus have created IKEA products, under the guidance of their teachers, using their imagination to create unique works of art.
The initiative gives young people a chance to showcase their talent and creativity, but has a philanthropic dimension, too. The resulting artworks will be available for sale, with all proceeds going towards the support of the Hope For Children charity.
The exhibition, to be hosted at the Leventis Gallery over March 19-23, 2025, will be open to the public with free admission, and is under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth.
Don’t miss it!
