Art (in) Education — recommended for everyone interested in education through art This is a publication dedicated to those who have found their calling in education through art - not only educators, animators and teachers, but also...
Our project READY, STEADY, ART!, which we have been realising at the BWA Contemporary Art Gallery since the beginning of 2012, is aimed at those who have little or no relationship with art. The idea of the project is to increase participation in art and culture through a process of forging social relationships. Passers-by are no longer treated as passive individuals, and so they become not only active receivers, but also have elements of creative action, and are equally responsible for its character and for the relationships that occur between the various participants. There is integration at various levels, which apart from ‘art-receiver’, also include ‘artist-receiver’ and ‘receiver’. The art events take place in different areas of Katowice, complemented by workshops and lectures held in the gallery. 27 artists and educators from across Poland have so far accepted our invitation and have realised a total of 21 artistic actions, including ephemeral performance works as well as extended enterprises with a social mission. There were also five actions realised based on the ideas of the people who entered the annual contest organised within the project.
