The “Fantastic Art World from Centre Pompidou” exhibition, one of the highlights of the 1st Macao International Children’s Arts Festival (MICAF), is held at the Macao Museum of Art (MAM) in Nape until 27 October.
Jointly organised by Macau’s Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC), MGM and the Centre Pompidou in France, the exhibition also features some workshops held at the same venue, which is located in the Macau Cultural Centre (CCM) complex.
The exhibition and workshops are divided into three theme zones: “Passing Through”, “Laterna Magica” and “Rhythms, Shapes, Colours”. In addition, a part of the exhibition, an interactive installation exhibition titled “The Plantamouves”, is held at a satellite venue located at the Former Barra Slaughterhouse Site.
The Centre Pompidou in France stands as a pioneer in children’s art education and is the first institution to offer activities and exhibitions specifically designed for young audiences. It has nearly 40 years of substantial experience in promoting children’s art and has established the Children’s Gallery to provide different age groups with holistic and long-term art education.
Through the artistic experiences gained from the games designed by contemporary artists or echoed with the major artworks in the collection, the centre guides children to have cross-disciplinary sensory exploration, and foster their sensibility, creativity and imagination.
Two types of family tickets are available for the exhibition and workshops at the main venue – MAM – and are limited to children aged from 3-12, who must be accompanied by an adult, while spectators with tickets dedicated to the exhibition will take turns to visit three theme zones in groups.
Participants of the workshops will enjoy the entire art education experience and receive a souvenir upon completion. They can participate in “Passing Through + Laterna Magica” workshop or “Passing Through + Rhythms Shapes Colours” workshop, with sessions available in Cantonese, Mandarin and English.
Tickets for the main venue are available from the Macau Ticketing Network outlets, via online booking (www.macauticket.com) or by phone (2855 5555), while tickets for the satellite venue are on sale through GoGoGoat mobile application or online ticketing (app.sme-boardpro.com/gogogoat).
