The mediation programme has been one of the Art Encounters Foundation’s major stakes from the very beginning, and through this programme the public benefits from guided tours, courses and meetings dedicated to the debate on contemporary art. This includes: courses for children, guided tours of exhibitions, introductory courses in contemporary art for adults, workshops for students.
Guided tours are organised every week for the duration of the exhibitions.
The programme not only facilitates access to contemporary art, but also cultivates a deep cultural dialogue, encouraging collective engagement, critical perspective and creative participation, essential tools for understanding and influencing the world we live in.
Contemporary art can be found everywhere: in galleries, museums, art fairs and biennales, as well as in parks, public squares and on the street. But unfortunately, just because it’s part of the urban landscape doesn’t mean it’s familiar or easy to understand.
A work of art is a created object or manifestation, recognised as such and whose purpose is to communicate with the viewer. We would add that contemporary works are also meant to reflect on the world around us and sometimes even to reveal something about ourselves. By way of simplification, we suggest that you consider contemporary art as a response to the present day, which has led artists on a quest for identity and has ardently altered both the subjects and what they say. But above all, leave your preconceptions in the cloakroom and let us lead you into a captivating universe that will surprise you and you may love it: not at all, a little, a lot, madly!
The workshops are an integral part of the mediation programme, designed to introduce participants to artistic production, research and experimentation.
The Art Encounters Foundation reaffirms its commitment to the Romanian art scene and its mission to contribute to increasing local capacity and creating new connections for the benefit of the artistic community.
