Traités de Paix dans l'Art Defi 30 x 30

Bonjour Pymouss ! Je m'appelle Iñaki LL, un Wikipedian en sejour au Museée San Telmo, Donostia-San Sebastián. We are holding the Peace Treaties in Art 30 x 30 Challenge in collaboration with Donostia-San Sebastián European Capital of Culture 2016 with a view to fostering a culture of peace and based on its Peace Treaty exhibitions at different city locations.

Your remarkable participation in the recent, similar Europeana contest grabbed my attention, and would really love to have all your good wikipedic and artistic know-how poured into this inspirational challenge :p The contest will reach its climax in an edit-a-thon we will be holding on July 9! Take a look, hopefully see you virtually or on the spot, toutes les bonnes contributions sont bienvenues ! Iñaki LL (talk) 10:20, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
