  CRE8 Foundation brings children and artists around the world together to make art. The artist Ole Ukena began its workshops in 2008; the first exhibition with children's workshops followed in Rishikesh, India, in March 2009. Each workshop starts with a short instruction; children in different places answer it in their own way, and the answers are shown together as art. Five projects: The Most Realistic Alien, Ping Pong Painting, D.A.S. Project, Photo Rally and The Ideal Place. In 2026 CRE8 is beginning a new chapter.
