Tuesday: Students and Teachers’ day
Tuesdays will continue to be dedicated to students and teachers throughout the “Magnet: New York” exhibition. From 11AM to 7PM, assorted material will be available to the general public at Proa’ s Library for an in depth study of the contents of the exhibition. Bibliographical texts, catalogues, letters and documents are crucial to the exhibition’s investigation carried out by its curator, Rodrigo Alonso. The chance to access this information poses also a reflection on curatorial decisions and chosen viewpoint. On that day, Proa’s Education Department staff will also offer special guided tours and dialogues between the educators in each gallery and a reduced number of visitors.
These interactions allow the public to reflect upon the chosen concepts as well as the educational projects for schools and general public. Teachers benefit from the same privileges as the students. Café Proa will offer a special more accessible menu. The aim of this activity is that teachers and the artistic community of students alike can transform Fundación Proa into a study lab.
To access these benefits students and teachers have to present their credential.
Free Entrance
Every Tuesday free admission for students and teachers with ID or institutional accreditation.
