As part of the new Artsvit for Kids programme, we have a separate course for young people aged 14 to 18 called About Art Here and Now.
The programme consists of lectures and discussions about contemporary Ukrainian art and workshops with guest artists and representatives of the local art community.
During the lecture part, you will learn: what contemporary art is, where you can find it in Ukraine, in what capacity you can interact with it, and what variety of art project formats exist. And the most important questions: how to view art, talk about it, and why to attend cultural events.
In addition to lectures and discussions, young participants in the programme will be able to try their hand at being artists and learn about different techniques in practice during workshops. Using the Art World Gallery collection as an example, you will also learn how a collection is formed and how works of art are used, stored and catalogued.
The aim of the course is to introduce teenagers to the contemporary Ukrainian art system and help them understand how it works, what it consists of and who is involved in it. To show how relevant and interesting art projects are, and how art can be used to look at the world from a different angle and reflect on/analyse current events. To prove that talking about art is easy and interesting. To engage the younger generation in conversations about art and make attending cultural events a part of their everyday lives.
Classes will be held every Saturday, starting on 7 October at 4 p.m. In the first class, we will talk about contemporary art and what it is in general. Join the discussion at the link. Registration is required!
