First edition of the prestigious “Art Award City of Fiuggi”, that we’ll see the city and the artists who participate, the protagonists of unprecedented event.
There are two Group Exhibitions lasting 15 days each at the Memory and Image Workshop with the prize giving ceremony at the Theatre of Fiuggi. At the group shows will participate only selected artists to ensure an higher artistic level.
The idea was to increase reputation of Fiuggi, as a city of art and not just as an health spa.
Fiuggi is a place with enormous possibilities of cultural expansion, but without a dedicated art award and it’s not an artist’s place, who could enhance the city of extra contents, giving rise to a strong cultural and tourist boom.
Citizenship has greeted the news with great enthusiasm and collaboration.
The real difference, however, will make the artists who will join in this ambitious plan giving their essential contribution to the cultural enrichment of the country.
The second stage is scheduled from 23th June to 7th July 2012 with a new group exhibition, during which will be selected other five artists to go in the final.
The goal is to be able to see the birth of a new collaboration among institutions, private individuals or municipality and the artists who participated in the competition, so as to encourage the spread and commission of works of art in the city, create cultural experiences that improve the site, creating wealth (in all its meaning).
