Youth Education Programme

The Temporary Gallery’s  youth education programme
aims to facilitate access to art and cultural institutions for teenagers and young adults aged 14-22 and familiarize them with the art/culture industry as a potential career perspective.

Through workshops with artists, curators, activists and other players in the arts and culture sector, excursions to national art exhibitions and community meetings, we want to open up networks for young people within the “institution” and support them in building sustainable relationships inside and outside the Temporary Gallery. Through this diverse cultural program, young people can make contacts within the art scene, come into contact with artists and cultural professionals at an early stage and, if interested, help shape important institutional development processes as young members of the Temporary Gallery.

School collaborations are an integral part of the program:

The idea is to accompany and help shape art lessons in schools as a non-profit art association, and to take this participation—or possibility of intervention—as an opportunity to introduce artists’ positions and social discourses that are not usually included in classic textbooks. In addition to the active co-design of teaching units by Temporary Gallery art educators, the programme includes a diverse selection of educational impulses, artistic workshops, excursions to exhibitions in the Temporary Gallery, but also in other institutions in and around Cologne, as well as opportunities for direct exchange with artists and actors in the cultural scene, including practical workshops and artist and curator talks.
