“Art Macao: Macao International Art Biennale 2023”, themed “The Statistics of Fortune”, launches a large-scale aesthetic exploration in science and religion in collaboration with over 200 contemporary artists from more than 20 countries and regions around the world. To invite children to appreciate the beauty and fun of art together, the Cultural Affairs Bureau will offer “Children Tours” for children and families during the event with a view to taking them on a journey of aesthetic exploration through relaxing and fun artistic experiences.
During the “Children Tours”, docents will guide children to art galleries, and through these interactive guided tours, they will learn about the correlation between science and religion implied in the artworks. Additionally, workshops and demonstration platforms will be provided to enhance children’s knowledge and interest in art and stimulate their artistic imagination and creation.
Children-oriented schools, community associations and social service institutions are welcome to register for these tours to be organised for their service users to appreciate art together.
