Vzw Chaldea and Chaldea Kilim Gallery started the project ‘Sanat Atölyesi’ or ‘art studio’ in 2006.

The idea is to provide a school in Southeast Turkey with an art atelier by the end of 2010. The children of the village will then be able to discover the different disciplines of the arts like the fine arts, music, drama and dance. This way the kids will have the opportunity to develop their own creativity and discover their talents. This project was inspired by the ideas of Austrian culture philosopher Gerard Jäger.
