Art at schools

When school buildings are renovated or new schools are built, the city of The Hague employs the so-called Percent for Art program for public art commissions. Stroom advises the various school boards on how to spend these art budgets. Based on the conviction that works of art can have a great impact on a large group of young people, many projects have been realised at schools over the years. Sometimes the art projects are accompanied by workshops given by the artists as an introduction to the works of art at that specific school. A number of projects are also accompanied by an (educational) publication (see separate projects).
