PEOPLE'S ART PROGRAMME -Open curriculum of Art School Maa

People’s Art Programme is an open structure for studies in art practices and critical thinking. It grows from the needs of the current art field and looks for future art education models. It builds on a long tradition of artist-led pedagogies, peer-support and learning together.

Art School Maa understands “people” as a word for anyone who wishes to learn art and creative practices, for citizens who wish to find agency and meaning in their environments, and for artists who come together to rethink what they are doing, why and for whom. People’s Art Programme is Art School Maa’s answer to the ongoing changes in art education and cultural funding in Finland. It maintains a critical view of art and art education. It includes, recognises and promotes diversity of practices, self-organisation and alternative voices.
