Current Exhibition

At the LIGCA, we show exhibitions of children's art from every corner of the world including artwork by local children.

London International Gallery of Children's Art is proud to present this collection of paintings and drawings produced by the children of Havana.

As part of an International School of Havana (ISH) group project pupils of the ISH, along with children from the Juan Manuel Marquez pediatric hospital, a group from the El Fanguito and students from the Taller de Manero art workshop, worked with the theme of Cuban culture.

Working with water paint, crayons and pencils on white cardboard and other media, and created without visual sources to copy from, the young artists communicate a deeply ingrained sense of patriotic pride. The Cuban flag is a reoccuring motif amongst the scenes of sun, sea, smiling faces, lush mountainous landscapes, wildlife and dynamic industry.

For the children, the project provided an opportunity for cultural exchange and a chance to simply enjoy the fun of artistic creativity. For the viewer, this exhibition offers the rare opportunity to discover what the youngest inhabitants of this culturally rich yet often mysterious country think of their home.


Please note that LIGCA is run entirely by volunteers so it may sometimes not be possible to be open at all the stated hours due to volunteer shortages. You are advised to ring to check we are open in advance.

Our exhibitions also tour to hospitals, schools and galleries around the world and here in Britain. If you are interested in hosting a LIGCA exhibition or would like any more information, please contact us at the Gallery, on 02072811111 or exhibitions@ligca.org
