International Art Exhibition for Room 13 Nepal
Room 13 studios in Nepal took part in an amazing international art exhibition celebrating the universal day of children’s rights. Paintings from the young artists at Room 13 HCMC were on show as well as some works from international artists discussing issues concerning children’s rights all over the world.
The exhibition took place at the same time in other participating countries such as; Germany, South Africa, Argentina and Rwanda.
In Nepal the exhibition was inaugurated by chancellor of Nepal Academy of Fine Arts, Mr. Kiran Manandhar. Around 70 visitors including artists, school students, representatives of related organizations and media people visited the one day exhibition.
Shanti Griha, the organisation that supports and develops the Room 13 studios in Nepal are delighted to have made this connection to the Nepal Academy of Fine Arts. They have found the program by Room 13 very effective and have stated that they will support Room 13 Nepal in the future to improve the skills and opportunities for the students.

Mallaig artists have mastered the technique there might be some available to buy right here on the Room13 International website.

Dangerous Ideas
Room 13 will be presenting at the Emporium of Dangerous Ideas, in Edinburgh’s Merchant’s Hall. Our dangerous idea comes from the present generation of artists at Room 13 Caol, and is simply that everyone should have a Room 13! We imagine a whole world of people who are prepared to think and act for themselves, as the movement of young artists that we recognise as Room 13 spreads around the world.
This is Our Faith
Artists of Room 13 Lochyside created an installation for a service in St Columbus Cathedral. The piece consisted of nine crosses cut and sanded by hand, painted and finished with gold leaf and stencilled with words relating to the faith. These were unveiled yesterday in a service at St Columbus Cathedral in Oban cathedral to mark the launch of ‘This is Our Faith’, the new syllabus for Catholic religious education in Scotland.
