Learning through Art 2025 showcases creative projects developed by over one hundred children, aged 6 to 12, during the 2024/2025 school year. This initiative brings contemporary artists into classrooms to collaborate with teachers, integrating artistic exploration into the elementary school curriculum.
This exhibition highlights the outcome of the 'Learning through Art' program, an educational initiative that pairs artists with school classrooms to foster creativity and interdisciplinary learning. Over the course of the school year, participating children from various elementary levels used diverse mediums—including painting, sculpture, photography, and performance—to explore complex themes such as nature, the environment, social activism, and personal identity. The projects reflect both individual creativity and collective engagement, connecting artistic practice with school subjects like science and mathematics. By encouraging freedom of expression, the exhibition demonstrates how art serves as a vital tool for students to analyze their world and articulate their personal perspectives, while also highlighting the collaborative role of contemporary artists in the educational process.
The exhibition is presented as part of the museum's educational program. Visitors are encouraged to check the official museum website for general museum admission details and opening hours before planning their visit to the gallery spaces.
