"R for Portrait" is the proposal we are launching for Special Needs Educational Centers, designed by Extrarradio. Art and Social Inclusion, and which arises from the need to bring art and the museum to the school as an experience as adapted as possible to the specific needs of the participants.
[R] PORTRAIT is based on artistic portraiture and we will use a multisensory methodology based on stimulating students through art.
We will work on visual, auditory, haptic, olfactory and gustatory stimulation, giving the student the freedom to explore, discover, create and enjoy art.
The project consists of 10 sessions at the school centers CEIP Azorín and IES Gaia in San Vicente del Raspeig, Alicante during the 2020-2021 school year.
On the occasion of the exhibition "Exiled Thought" from the Contemporary Art Collection of the Generalitat Valenciana, the 2020 National Photography Prize winner Ana Teresa Ortega (Alicante, 1952), gave a lecture in the museum's auditorium.
This year, we cannot carry out the celebration of Book Day in the usual way. But from the MACA Library, and coinciding with the exhibition of the Alicante artist, Juana Francés, we wanted to pay our small tribute to her work through this brief tour of the catalogs that are part of the museum's collections, which we bring to life with the poem by Gloria Fuertes.
The 20th Century Art Collection is one of the greatest treasures of this city. We know it, and it's improper for us to say so because it's a place we know well, very well, but that's just how it is. It's the truth. An ideal place to learn, discover, inspire yourself and, above all, breathe art. Haven't you discovered it yet? I don't know what you're waiting for. Have you already visited it on some previous occasion? No problem, come and rediscover artists and works from a different perspective, with an approach that goes from the playful to the educational and, of course, placing special emphasis on inclusion. Because the museum is for everyone and for all people. That's why we will have sign language interpretation service and adapted activities.
