Due to movement restrictions arising as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, we are mounting a project adapted to an unconventional exhibition space; in other words, to virtual space.
Participating schools have been working on the project since September 2019, and although some schools have been unable to complete their projects, or do not have the materials because they cannot access their premises, we have decided to raise awareness of, and to give recognition to the work done during so many months.

FICTION, REALITY WITHIN
We are all comfortably installed within REALITY. Everything fits within this world of ours. Formulas, rules, laws; these are all infallible, and the fact of their application indicates to us the limits of normality and correction. Doubt and critical thinking about everything we see, hear, touch and feel should not be encouraged. They would like us to believe that REALITY is TRUTH.
This reality is delimited by work and obligations. By objectivity and pragmatism. We cannot transgress the rules because we cannot destabilise the system. There is no room for imagination within this framework. Creativity cannot have rules, formulas or limits.
Within the framework of this correction, we demand “leisure time”, a stretch of time that we call our own (curious that we must demand something that is OURS) and in which, far from obligations, we immerse ourselves in what we really like, whether it is reading, running, singing or building a boat inside a bottle. It doesn’t matter what we do. Whatever it is, it is undeniable. This is what leisure time is all about. And that is what FICTION consists of.There is no doubt that ART, in all its expressions, is the most distinctive field of FICTION. So is the world of video games. But it is in ART that REALITY and FICTION move further away from their degree of mutual interdependence. We use FICTION to escape reality and we also use it to understand that same reality. Art, music, theatre, and so on, help us to sublimate our feelings, and also help us to understand the deeper meaning of things.REALITY and FICTION are two sides of the same coin. But two conflicting faces, because we need FICTION always to be revolutionary.The ART + SCHOOL project is an invitation to turn FICTION into REALITY.

WHAT IS ART & SCHOOL?
ART and SCHOOL is a programme which started out in 2011, promoted by ACVIC. Centre d’Arts Contemporànies and the Centre de Recursos Pedagògics d’ Osona, in collaboration with the Escola d’Art de Vic, Escola d’Art de Torelló, H. Associació per a les Arts Contemporànies, Katacrack, Pakdart, Taller Isa Basset, Universitat de Vic-Universitat Central de Catalunya and a number of individual collaborators.
It aims to promote and highlight the importance of art in educational centers, and is developed in conjunction with those nursery, primary and secondary schools which join the scheme each year.
So far, nine editions of Art and School have been held. In each one, about thirty schools have taken part, mainly from the Osona, region but also from Bages, Moianès, Ripollès, Solsonès, Vallès Oriental and Vallès Occidental.
It is, therefore, an initiative which establishes a network of collaborations between various agents working in the fields of art and education.
ART and SCHOOL attempts to encourage collaborative processes, to learn about what is being done in schools in relation to the arts, to share approaches and methodologies among the schools involved, and to bring issues into schools which form part of contemporary cultural debates.
For the 2019-20 school year, the suggested topic for Art and School was Fiction.
This edition involved 35 educational centers, mostly from Osona but also from Bages, Ripollès, Solsonès, Vallès Oriental and Mallorca. 35 different projects have been realised, with a total of 3.226 participating students.
These groups are: 3 nursery schools, 11 pre-school education, 16 primary school, 18 secondary education and 2 special education (with several projects which connect students from various educational stages).
