A Note from the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait

I attended a ribbon cutting ceremony event for KIDZART in Kuwait. The event included 6 educational groups for kids at the Avenues premier mall for the weekend. About 300 were in attendance. The KidzArt owner, Mrs. Somaya Al Walayti, told me she and her two friends were not content to let their offspring sit in front of computers or TV. They searched for a franchise that offered “edutainment ” for Kuwait children. They found that Franchise in Texas and have brought KidzArt, a fun approach to art, to Kuwait.

I was fascinated by the concept and charmed by the local Franchisee Somaya. She and her two college classmates promote an educational diversion for Kuwait’s growing under 20 population. I visited a “edutainment” event on Feb 6 and noted that there were lines of parents eager to enroll their children in KidzArt classes.

I have recommended Somaya and her partners for an Embassy honor.

Warm regards from the Arabian Gulf,

Commercial Counselor, U.S. Embassy Kuwait

International home furnishings giant, IKEA, invited KidzArt to play a part in their 25th anniversary celebration in Kuwait last week.  

As part of IKEA’s social responsibility program and the anniversary festivities, KidzArt was asked to provide art classes for children in a gallery at the main entrance of the IKEA store.   The KidzArt classes were surrounded by transparent partitions plastered with the KidzArt logo, so parents and the public could view the children’s creativity in action!

With over 10,000 visitors passing through the store over the weekend, hundreds of children took part in the drawing, painting and activities that KidzArt offered. 

Check out this photograph and more details from IKEA on KidzArt’s part in the celebration.
