Heart for Art: Collaborating across borders

Heart for Art is an international educational program of the Van Gogh Museum that inspires children without access to art education with Van Gogh’s art and life story. In this 20-minute TED Talk-like presentation, we share how collaborations with schools in Houston and in Buenos Aires, Argentina, are providing creative opportunities for thousands of children. Three speakers – from the Netherlands, the US and Argentina – discuss how this program brings to life themes of identity, resilience and dreams. Discover how art enriches education, bridges borders and changes lives. Get inspired and don’t miss this unique session!
