Every year with cARTie is a little bit different, a little bit better, and a little bit more pioneering. Still, some things stay the same:
⭐️ our emphasis on student voice and artistry
⭐️ our commitment to culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogies
⭐️ the involvement of community members along every step of the way

➡️➡️ swipe to see “the cARTie rhythm”

[Media Descriptions: Yellow text explains how cARTie goes from theme selection to jurying to co-curation and programming with captivating images/videos of the bus over the years.]

This Monday, children and families spent time with cARTie, exploring the relationship between pop art and printmaking. We’re busy turning their notes into floor decals for others to learn about what they have learned about printmaking and pop art. This exhibition is poised to be a fun one.

Stay tuned for installation videos soon.

We can’t stress it enough: thinking and documenting with/through the arts is such a helpful tool 💡
