Piven for Education



Piven regularly visits schools and conducts workshops with the entire community of students, educators, and families. The workshop is an easy introduction to creativity while allowing for

self reflection and expression. Hanoch Piven’s visit to a school reminds us that art making transcends the art room and helps us develop flexibility, resilience, creativity. Each workshop takes between 90 and 120 minutes and up to 3 lectures or workshops can be given per day.
