CreArtivci
Exhibition of elementary and high school pupils
November 14-November 17, 2024
MSU školica

On Thursday, November 14, at 6pm exhibition of elementary and high school pupils CreArtivci will be opened at the MSU školica (Avenija Dubrovnik 17, Zagreb). The exhibition is a result of the Educational programme of the European project Creart 3.0.

The CreArt Educational Programme is part of the European project CreArt 3.0 and aims to improve cooperation between local schools, cultural institutions, non-governmental organizations and independent workers and companies in the cultural and creative sector. The program builds and strengthens intergenerational ties, creates a network for the exchange of education in culture, and encourages the future participation of school children in the cultural life of the city. Over the course of 3 years, the program will include 76 schools in the project’s partner cities, more than 4,500 students and teachers, and 47 artists.

In its second edition, six schools participated (Ivo Andrić Elementary School, Kustošija Elementary School, Središće Elementary School, I. Gymnasium, School of Applied Arts and Design, and Private Art Gymnasium) with over 120 students and six teachers. The program consisted of exhibition tours with an educational booklet of tasks and workshops conducted in schools under the mentorship of artists Duje Medić, Martina Miholić, Ana Ratković Sobota, Damir Sobota, Melinda Šefčić, and Diana Trohar.

Lorena Šimić developed the educational booklet under the supervision of the Educational Department of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, designed by Duje Medić.

CreArt is a network of 13 medium-sized European cities with the aim of exchanging experiences and good practices for the promotion of contemporary art, through a permanent transnational mobility program for emerging artists, curators and cultural workers, in order to maximize the economic, social and cultural contribution that creativity can make to local communities (#stringing_together). At the same time, CreArt 3.0 is pushing the boundaries (#pushboundaries) beyond the visual arts, empowering other artistic practices such as performing arts or music, and new collaborations with an NGO based in Lviv have also been initiated to support Ukrainian artists. Participating cities are: Kaunas, Liepaja, Skopje, Aveiro, Valladolid, Lublin, Venice, Clermont-Ferrand, Rouen, České Budějovice, Oulu and Regensburg. The project includes 45 residency programs in 15 European cities, more than 39 public events to celebrate the European Month of Creativity in 13 cities from the network, 13 educational programs to strengthen creativity and knowledge about contemporary art, 18 Street Art festivals, 10 annual festivals in galleries in 9 cities and 6 European conferences and study visits.
