Education and resources: on-site and online
As part of its mission to encourage cross-cultural dialogue about contemporary art and cultural practice, the Guggenheim has worked in close collaboration with the CCA, the National Gallery Singapore, and the Singapore Teacher’s Academy for the Arts to develop interactive exhibition touring strategies for adults and youth. Teacher Resource Guides, available in print and online, focus on ways that teachers can introduce contemporary art to their classrooms.
The initiative’s online environment features articles, audio recordings, and videos by curators, art historians, artists, and regional experts. Individual pages for each exhibition artist provide further information on their practices, and on the acquisitions made through the Guggenheim UBS MAP Purchase Fund.
