Art education at Marres

Marres offers an education program for-and together with-schools at all learning levels. Central to these projects is the training of perception. In interactive programs at school or at Marres, pupils, schoolchildren and students discover what sensory knowledge comes from experiencing contemporary art. Marres stimulates children and youth to explore this bodily knowledge in their own way and then to link it to art. The youth are guided in translating observations into different art forms such as drawings, theater or video.

Teachers can visit with classes but students can also visit independently. In addition, Marres brings projects to schools. Together with schools, Marres also develops tailor-made programs. Marres does not limit itself to art alone, but also involves other disciplines such as languages, philosophy, geography, history and chemistry.
