Fope Gioielli has confirmed its collaboration with the International Art Prize Arte Laguna also for this year.
This important event will take place in Venice in March 2013 and will contemplate prizes in money, a collective exhibition in Venice Arsenale, a special exhibition at the Romanian Institute for Arts Culture and Research, a number of exhibitions in art galleries and an official catalogue.
Arte Laguna was awarded a medal by the President of the Italian Republic as an acknowledgment of its importance in the promotion and enhancement of Contemporary Art, and it is supported by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the region of Veneto, the city of Venice, Ca’ Foscari University in Venice, and IED (Istituto Europeo di Design).
Within this event, Fope supports Business for Art, a special prize dedicated to the section of virtual art, which was established by the company from Vicenza last year. It includes artworks entirely created with computer software, graphics and 3D animation, virtual installations, net art, and artworks made through smartphone or tablet applications, and net art productions. The winner will receive an award, as well as a prize in money, and will have the chance to participate in an art project made in collaboration with Fope Gioielli.
In addition, thanks to a recent valuable collaboration, the Telecom Italia Future Centre - based in Rialto, in the historical heart of Venice - will host all the finalist artworks of the virtual art section.
