Description
Summary:This article describes a collaboration between a university and an art museum. The Contemporary Art Museum in Umeå in northern Sweden is one of Sweden’s largest art galleries for contemporary art. The collaboration involves a course called Art Pedagogy, where an art-pedagogical project is planned, conducted and presented. Two projects collected in the spring of 2018 were selected for analysis. The result show that a win-win situation may occur when actors with different competences and resources participate in a project. For this to happen the schools and teachers need to have an interest and be prepared for a project, with an initial understanding.
