“PROEX ART GALLERY”: AN EXHIBITION SPACE FOR MANY CULTURAL/ARTISTIC ACTIONS

Abstract

This study reports the experiences of the outreach project “PROEX Art Gallery: an Exhibition Space for many Cultural/Artistic Actions”, developed at PROEX Art Gallery by the Art and Culture Division/Office of Outreach and Cultural Affairs (PROEX) and by the School of Arts of Ponta Grossa State University (UEPG). It aims to provide opportunities for the Visual Arts students, teachers, artistic community, public school students and community in general to experience interdisciplinary events organized by curators such as art mediations, recitals, exhibitions and visits, proving to be a significant space for the artistic/cultural context of the city of Ponta Grossa. Therefore, we use records such as photographs, reports/narratives from the academics and the community in general. From this, we organize exhibitions, recitals, book launches, among other cultural/ artistic events. We believe that the outreach project and its results contributed to the formation of undergraduates in Arts, to the institutional routine and to the continuing education of those involved in the project, such as teachers, artists and academics in the field of artistic culture, enriching the experiences shared by all who participated in the project.
