24 Creativeworld exhibitors donate art supplies for children Some 95 exhibitors at this year’s Creativeworld have donated high-quality trade fair samples from their craft and creative product ranges to the Frankfurt Children’s Office. Hence, they are providing around 4,000 children in more than 60 children’s and young people’s centres in the Rhine-Main region with products like brushes and paints, modelling clay and pens as well as special trend products and materials for the latest creative techniques for free. With this donation campaign, Messe Frankfurt and the exhibitors are committed to social participation and creative support for children in the region. The campaign thus builds a bridge between the international trade fair for hobby, craft and artists’ supplies and the local community of creative users. “With the donations from our Creativeworld exhibitors, we enable children to depict their world and communicate where words are lacking,” explains Eva Olbrich, Director of Creativeworld. Madeleine Michaelis, Project Manager of the Frankfurt Children’s Office, adds: “Everything that’s donated goes to where it’s needed, without exception. Organisations often don’t have the budget to buy creative materials, as these are expensive. Messe Frankfurt provides valuable support here: a big thank you for that!” Ambiente, Christmasworld and Creativeworld will continue to take place at the same time at the Frankfurt exhibition centre in future. The daily sequence of Creativeworld will be optimised in close consultation with the industry: Creativeworld will start simultaneously with Ambiente and Christmasworld on Friday, 7th February 2025. It will continue to run for four days.
