Less than a year after we asked parents and grand-parents how they go about preserving their children’s art, we are now asking everyone to tell us if their working life is related to children’s art and its preservation, in any shape or form.

The short survey, Educational and professional use of children’s art, is led by Ishita Bisht, Events and Communication Volunteer. We ask that you to take five minutes to participate. We will gladly share a summary of the findings with willing participants.

Our organization speaks to a broad range of a diverse audience. Help us tailor our communication tools around specific interests.

You will see our call to action on our social media, please share with your peers and your friends.

At Children Design International Collection, we celebrate the powerful stories and creative voices of children's meaningful and creative expressions.

We’re dedicated to making our content more impactful and accessible—and your insights can help us get there! 

Knowledge building is all about sharing. We are pleased to share with you the report from a project undertaken on our behalf by a small dedicated team from McMaster University, in 2024: Factors influencing families’ decision to preserve children’s artwork. We plan to share its contents in person at McMaster’s Community-Engaged Research Days later this month.

Your comments about this research project will be most appreciated. info@cdic-cide.org 

Claire made this Self-portrait with red shoes, in the mid-2000s. This lively drawing is part of the Gisèle Dallaire fonds, in our collection.
