Creativity knows no minimum age requirement.
Beethoven was 10 when he began composing musical pieces, Woody Allen was 17 when he began as a professional joke writer, and thespian Anthony Michael Hall performed in Sixteen Candles at the tender age of 16. At the International Children's Art Museum, creativity reaches back even further. Featuring a collection of 4,000 paintings hailing from over 100 countries, the museum is an impressive showcase of adolescent talent. In addition to displaying art, the museum coordinates a paintbrush diplomacy program that allows children to swap art and letters on an international level. The point is to promote the appreciation of diversity among children and adults on a worldwide level.
