> I am the executive director of PapaInk,
the International
> Children's Art Archive. As part of our non-profit mission, we are
> building a digital collection
of professional artists' childhood
> artwork. The project, When They Were Children, aims to preserve
> artists'
personal and collective histories, and to impart a
> creative legacy to the rising generation of artists.
>
>
Our first annual call for artists' childhood art is underway, and
> extends through September 30th. We would be very
pleased to review
> selections from your own childhood and teenage art for online
> archival display within the
When They Were Children collection.

Executive Director

> PapaInk, the International Children's Art Archive, is a non-profit
> organization
dedicated to collecting and preserving children's art
> and reinjecting children's creative spirit into human discourse.
>
Our archival work highlights the socially critical efforts of
> organizations and individuals who enable children's
artistic
> undertakings. PapaInk's world historical archive of children's art
> brings together and professionally
presents the children's art
> holdings of organizations such as the UN, SOS Children's Village
> and the Jewish
Museum in Prague. Fueled by a largely volunteer
> staff of iCurators, PapaInk's archive consists of a growing
>
collection of historically significant children's art (e.g., from
> WWI, WWII, the Spanish Civil War, the Rwandan Civil
War) as well as
> artwork from contemporary children around the world and the
> childhood works of professional
artists. PapaInk provides an open
> archive and no-cost archival services to organizations and
> individuals worldwide,
enabling the set-up and building out of
> permanent galleries of children's art.
