The personal visit underlined the importance of strong networks - and was an appreciative signal for the daily work in our daycare centers.

Discover art, play, be creative: With Art Kids, familea is designing the children's program at Art Basel for the first time - a lovingly supervised adventure space for children aged 4 to 12 with a creative studio, bouncy castle, play area and retreat. While adults enjoy art, young guests experience a great program.
