Kulturverket
English
Kulturverket initiate and carry out projects where art plays the central part and children literally “Tell pros what to do". Children's ideas, texts, music etc. is handed over to professionals or older children or students who touch them up and enhance them. They all cooperate in the final presentation of their work, which may be a concert, an exhibition, or another type of performance
Kulturverket is a flexible network with very few people in the regular staff. Ideas for projects stem from discussions within Kulturverket where professional artists, musicians, composers etc. are employed .
Kulturverket started in 2005 when seven municipal administrations joined forces to coordinate their resources and give all children in the municipality access to cultural experiences and to integrate aesthetic learning processes in the everyday work of the schools.
Most projects start in schools (K-12), but end up being presented in institutions like the opera or the Museum of Contemporary Art. All projects are carried out in collaboration with institutions, universities and colleges, museums, the opera, libraries, etc.
