The Artground 3.99

The Artground is an arts centre for children aged 12 and under which draws inspiration from the poem, The Hundred Languages of Children. We are an accessible space that aims to provide positive arts experiences across a variety of art forms and our vision to let art do, what art does defines what we do. The Artground endeavours to be the epicenter of unique artistic experiences for young audiences through the artists who use us as a space to inspire and create.

“The child is made of one hundred.
The child has a hundred languages
a hundred hands
a hundred thoughts
a hundred ways of thinking
of playing, of speaking.
a hundred, always a hundred
ways of listening
of marveling, of loving
a hundred joys
for singing and understanding
a hundred worlds to discover
a hundred worlds to invent
a hundred worlds to dream.”

- Excerpt from, The Hundred Languages of Children by Loris Malaguzzi.

The Artground encourages everyone who visits our center to be creative by offering opportunities for the child and the artist to remain inquisitive for life. Our primary arts programmes and ancillary workshops that go beyond the arts realm, facilitate learning through play and empower children to express themselves in a hundred ways. We want to keep everyone thinking, questioning, exploring, appreciating and discovering, as artists.

“Every child is an artist.
The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”
– Picasso
