Piedmont primary schools can apply for contemporary art funding by May 31

The Fondazione per l'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT has initiated aulArte, inviting Piedmont's state and paritary primary schools to incorporate contemporary art into their educational programs. A total of eight schools will be awarded €40,000 each to create customized projects. These initiatives should either complement the school's annual plan or tackle contemporary issues. Educators are required to keep a record of the process, host a final restitution event, and facilitate at least two visits to partnered museums, including Castello di Rivoli Museo d'Arte Contemporanea and others. A final collective event will showcase all participating classes. The submission deadline is May 31, 2023. According to foundation president Luisa Papotti, art education equips students with essential tools for understanding today’s world.
