“We’re counting on you and your raised hands to bid for the street art selected by the M．B.A.students and go home victoriously！” said Arnaud Oliveux at the French auction(拍卖) house Artcurial.
Mr Oliveux walked theatrically across the stage and officially opened the second edition of the charity auction Street for Kids.The event is organized by 33 students who major in art management，with a focus on the international art market，at the Icart School of Arts.
Over the past six months，as their final project，the fifthyear students planned their first public auction.They persuaded famous street artists and galleries to donate pieces；they drafted the communication strategy；they designed and built the exhibition space.
Julien GarciaToudic,22，was among the students charged with collecting the donated street art.He said，“It was for charity and it would be financing children’s access to art.”
Their goal was to raise money for the Musée en Herbe，whose mission(使命) is to bring art to children.
Founded more than 40 years ago，the 6,400squarefoot space provides exhibitrelated activities for those “between the ages of 3 and 103”．
“We’re a little alien in the world of art，” said Sylvie Girardet，the museum’s director.She was a graduate in art history and archaeology(考古学) when she created the museum with two friends.At the time，she had been shocked to learn that the majority of the French population did not visit museums.
“Childhood is when a lot of core(核心) values are formed，” said Ms Girardet.“If we introduced children into the world of art，then as future adults they wouldn’t have this mental block.”
“Young parents who came to visit the museum when they were little now come back with their children，” Ms Girardet said.“It means they remember and they keep fond memories of their time here.”
