participatory art-based activity

The intervention is a 3-month cycle of weekly guided tours carried out at the MMFA. Each visit will be performed with a group of 8 participants and a trained guide. They will meet at the museum once per week for a 45 min museum guided tour during a 3-month period. Each visit will be different and supervised by a museum guide. Regardless the topic of the visits, each visit will be standardized and separated in two consecutive phases: (1) Presentation of the objectives of the activity and (2) tour with a guide. Guided tours will target visual art (i.e., painting). They will be tailor-made and based on emotions and interactions in front of painting. The levels of information given to participants will regularly (i.e., each month) increase during the 3-month cycle of museum guided tours. The participants will be separated in 8 groups of 8 individuals per week. The same guide will manage each group of 8 participants during the 12 planned visits.
