Schools and artists benefit equally from the low bureaucratic effort involved in applying and can realize smaller projects per school year, which can be implemented both during lessons and in after-school care or as part of project days and weeks. The conception and realization by members of the Berufsverband Bildender Künstler Sachsen-Anhalt guarantees a high artistic level of the projects and often inspires the teachers to use new techniques and themes.
This review of the first twenty years of the project covers a total of 803 individual projects from 252 schools with 140 artists, which took place throughout the state of Saxony-Anhalt between 1996 and 2015. The majority of project activities and relationships are made accessible via interactive map overviews with all relevant details. Statistical data on project density and spatial distribution in the individual years supplement the geo-based presentation. Another focus is on the degree of participation of the two main project stakeholders: schools and artists. Furthermore, an attempt is made to make at least basic statements about the development and continuity of cooperation between schools and the arts. Qualitative interviews were conducted with selected school representatives and artists at the end of the study in order to incorporate project practice into the review. The project review concludes with a compact outline of the general history of the project and comments on the database included.
