PILAR JUNCOSA AWARD FOR INNOVATION IN ART EDUCATION
CALL FOR ENTRIES AND PURPOSE OF THE AWARD
Fundació Miró Mallorca is offering an award for an art education project, with a prize of €8,000.
The entrants in this category must submit an art education project that innovates either in terms of its educational method or through experimentation into artistic creation.
The project must also be targeted at younger audiences (aged 18 to 30). Its aims must be the promotion of contemporary art and the encouragement of younger sectors of society’s engagement with it, generating opportunities for participation, mediation and creativity in consonance with their interests, languages and cultural contexts.
The project must also be based on the concept of contemporary creation, forging meaningful dialogue between current artistic practices and the social realities of young people. The proposed projects must address their forms of expression, encouraging a critically analysed fusion with technology, where the latter is not simply a vehicle, but a focal point of debate used to question the biases, materialities and narratives of the digital age.

They must also be designed to suit a diverse audience, including activities for different age groups.
The grant involves the creation, design and full implementation of the project. During the project’s implementation, support will be provided by Fundació Miró Mallorca’s educational team.
