Foods from Spain
(10th July - 12th September 2010)

London International Gallery of Children's Art, in collaboration with Foods from Spain, is proud to present this exhibition of collages by British primary school children on the subject of fresh fruit and vegetables from Spain.

The bright and lively collages were created by classes from years three to six from around the UK as part of a nationwide Spanish Embassy initiative to promote healthy eating to children. The exhibition features a selection of the best collages from more than 200 entries sent by schools as part of Foods from Spain's fourth National Primary Schools Competition. Since its launch in 2007 classes have produced hundreds of vibrant collages; this year sees entries that are as creative as ever with children, some of whom with disabilities or learning difficulties, using imaginative materials like boxes, dried produce, and magazines and newspapers to showcase 5-a-day themes.

Director of Foods from Spain, Maria Jose Sevilla said of the Spanish Embassy initiative:
We're delighted to be running the National Primary Schools Competition for the fourth year running. A recent survey by the British Nutrition Foundation suggested that children eat less than half of their five portions of fruit and vegetables every day, so Foods from Spain has been thrilled by interest in healthy diets generated by the competition. We've had some excellent entries in the past and we're sure that this year will be no exception.

This will be the fourth year that London International Gallery of Children's Art has exhibited the best collages from the National Primary Schools Competition.
