Educators, applications for BIG IDEAS in Schools 2020 is now open, and we’d love to see you apply.

What is it?
Through our annual BIG IDEAS artist collaborator project grant, our program brings local professional artists to collaborate with teachers to foster creative and innovative learning projects directly inspired by the big, real-world ideas in Vancouver Biennale public artworks In our communities. BIG IDEAS in-School is a program that integrates the Vancouver Biennale’s public art exhibitions with the British Columbia curriculum. This cross-curricular project-based learning program takes students outside their classroom and brings the community into their classroom. Over the past decade, BIG IDEAS in-School has reached to over 10,000 students from diverse socio-economic demographics in Burnaby, Coquitlam, Delta, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Richmond, Squamish, Surrey, Vancouver, and West Vancouver.
