ROOM 13 ART PROJECT

Silwane S.P. School relaunches successful project.

The Silwane Senior Primary School in Verulam relaunched their successful Room 13 Art Project on September 18 in a day filled with entertainment alongside the artworks on display which were also for sale.

Room 13 is an art studio run by learners for learners, supported by an artist-in-residence, within a school environment. Learners manage the studio as a business, electing their own management team each year. The artist in residence is their employee, not their teacher.

Room 13 seeks to unlock children’s imagination by developing their artistic expression across various art forms, in particular visual arts and literature. At the same time, Room 13 also seeks to teach these children essential business skills, as they run the studio as their own business, taking full responsibility for the sustainability of project.
