Kunstideenwerkstatt (art ideas workshop)

In the art ideas workshop, all children are invited – outside of the framework of their school or kindergarten curriculum – to participate: their wishes, concerns, topics, and ideas contribute to the KinderKunstLabor from the very outset.

Alongside the Children’s Advisory Board, the art ideas worksho is a main forum for co-creation at the KinderKunstLabor. It is open to everyone. In contrast to the Children’s Advisory Board, children can participate in the art ideas workshop outside of educational or childcare facilities and the classroom setting. Young participants from different social backgrounds and age groups come together here for active artistic exchanges. For example, they took part as jury members in a selection process lasting several months to choose two artworks realised in Altoona Park together with Public Art Lower Austria (KOERNOE). In this way, they experience creative processes live and up close: How do artists work? How does an exhibition come about? What does art have to do with democracy? What is a lab and what happens there? Just like the groups of the Children’s Advisory Board, participants in the art ideas workshop take part in decisions about the content, programme, and design of the KinderKunstLabor.

Several times a month, up to 15 children and young people attend artistic workshops with artists, designers, art mediators, architects, and members of the KinderKunstLabor team at various institutions in St. Pölten. Initiated by Mona Jas, artistic director of the KinderKunstLabor, various experts from the fields of art and science moderate the encounters with the children.

The Kunstideenwerkstatt (art ideas workshop) is for children between the ages of six and twelve. You can find the upcoming dates and where to register here. Participation is free of charge.
