Two weekend workshops will be held at the museum and they will be facilitated by the visiting artists for school-aged children and college-going students. It is an activity where the artists can impart to young learners reflexive or technical skills through an art/creative process. Workshops for children ages 10-15 will focus on raising awareness for stray animals (in cooperation with Artist for Stray Animals ASA). The workshop’s intention is to create designs for community-based enterprises/efforts, to allow it to have a more interesting dialogue or to make it a conversation piece vis-à-vis the rest of its environment.
