Located in the heart of Carouge, the Musée de Carouge is primarily dedicated to preserving the town’s heritage and organizing temporary exhibitions related to local life. These exhibitions often delve into the history of Carouge and its residents. The museum actively participates in local events, such as the Printemps Carougeois and the Parcours Céramique Carougeois, and offers public guided tours and children’s workshops for each exhibition.
Imagine walking from the exhibition into a workshop where you dream up how to become famous and see your name on a street plaque. Children sketch bright ideas, cut colorful collage pieces, and stick them onto a cardboard plaque. They paint letters, add textures, and play with shapes and sounds as they personalise their mini street sign. The result is a small ‘success panel’ to hang on a wall and a lively collage celebrating their future fame.
In French. Kids ages 7–12.
Catherine Grimm, artist, leads drawing workshops that explore urban sketching and creative reinterpretation. She draws on practical studio and plein-air experience to guide participants in expressive pencil and marker techniques.
Participants will reinterpret an existing street or square using a black-and-white template, then add colour, ideas and personal style to transform the scene. Sessions examine composition, colour application and narrative through collaborative sharing and experimentation, developing individual approaches to visual storytelling and urban illustration.
In French.
