Following the success of the 2022 participatory exhibition aimed at all audiences, Les Abattoirs, Musée - Frac Occitanie Toulouse is repeating the experience with a new target audience: children aged 3 to 11. Free in their judgements and emotions, nursery and primary school children are receptive to the world of art and the practices associated with it. From 20 December 2023 to 10 March 2024, children were able to vote in the Abattoirs' mediation space and on a dedicated website to see their favourite works exhibited from 30 May to 17 November 2024.

Following this vote, 232 children contributed to the choice of works to be exhibited.

The average age of the voters was 8. Most of them live in Toulouse and the Occitanie region, but this proposal managed to cross regional and national borders, reaching not only the inhabitants of Toulouse and its metropolitan area, but also Spain.

Taking into account the exhibition space and the size of the works, the first 22 works are presented on the 1st floor of Les Abattoirs, as part of an itinerary based on the major themes that emerge from this selection, such as the representation of the animal figure, the use of colour and sound creation. New dialogues emerge between the works and the artists, inviting visitors of all ages to discover the collection through a new prism.
