Each year the Guggenheim presents A Year with Children, an exhibition showcasing select artworks by students participating in the museum’s pioneering arts education program, Learning Through Art (LTA). Based in New York City public elementary schools, LTA partners teaching artists with educators in each of the city’s five boroughs to design projects that explore art and ideas related to the classroom curriculum. Through lively discussions and hands-on, creative activities, the program encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and ongoing collaborative investigation.
As a result of the museum’s temporary closure due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, A Year with Children 2020 will take place in the digital realm. The multimedia e-book features over one thousand examples of student artwork; 52 videos and audio tracks of teaching artists, students, and classroom educators; snapshots of residencies; and project descriptions.
