The Blank Educational is a project born in 2015 addressed to high school students and it is aimed to enhance knowledge and passion for Contemporary Art. The programme includes a number of activities: introduction to the languages of contemporary art, talks and workshop held in class with artists, studio visit and guided visits to temporary exhibitions.

With the contribution of Comune di Bergamo, ASM Foundation, Pio Istituto dei Sordi Foundation, Regione Lombardia.
In partnership with Provincia di Bergamo.
LISten Project is the new project by The Blank Educational aimed at increasing accessibility and inclusion of deaf people to the cultural program of The Blank and to the artistic heritage.
The Blank Educational LISten Project selected through an open call 9 deaf and hard hearing people with language skills in Italian Sign Language (LIS) and in Italian to start a training course related to art and cultural mediation.
LISten Project is finalized to the creation of a staff of mediators skilled in the field of contemporary art and art education, able to plan and conduct educational projects, guided tours and workshops that will be developed within the cultural program of The Blank and in synergy with the museums of Lombardy Region.
Candidates take part in a training program taking place between May and November at some of the major Italian institutions dedicated to modern and contemporary art, in collaboration with their educational departments: Accademia Carrara (Bergamo), GAMeC – Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea (Bergamo), Mambo – Museo di Arte Moderna (Bologna), Pirelli HangarBicocca (Milan) and Castello di Rivoli Museo di Arte Contemporanea (Turin).
The meetings, conducted by museum professionals with the support of a LIS interpreter, allow to explore different collections and to study educational and accessibility projects developed by each institution. At the end of every training day, a focus is dedicated to the correct use of artistic terms in Italian Sign Language.
The project is carried out under the patronage of ENS – Ente Nazionale Sordi, with the support of Lombardy Region, Cariplo Foundation, ASM Foundation and Pio Istituto dei Sordi in Milan.

La degustazione di un elemento quotidiano come strumento per stimolare i ragazzi a ragionare sulla differenza tra i possibili approcci verso ogni aspetto della vita. Si può BERE per un bisogno fisico naturale o DEGUSTARE, scegliendo un approccio multisensoriale e appagante.
L’artista Tea Andreoletti, idro-sommelier e degustatrice di acque minerali di I e II livello, conduce un laboratorio di degustazione di acque con gli studenti della scuola secondaria di I primo grado dell’Istituto Sant’Angela di Fiorano al Serio.

The Blank involves the students of the Scuola Alberghiera of Clusone in an itinerary to discover the languages through which the artistic creativity and research take shape.
From the dialogue with the artist Diego Marcon and its work, the young cooks take some inspiration to design a menu to cook in a special dinner open to the public.
