About Competition
After the success of last year, Carapelli is pleased to announce the 2nd edition of isual arts competition, Carapelli For Art, prize for visual arts aimed at supporting and promoting contemporary art. This year the prize extends internationally involving Italy, England, France and the United States.
The theme of this second edition is: ’Blending’.
The union between the varieties that leads to new value aims to underline the ability of art to harmonize what is different, in many different ways: from the formal and conceptual to the relationship with the public, to the way in which the artwork is received in society and can act, directly or indirectly, on it. The artists are invited to interpret the current theme with their own research, through new or existing artworks that refer to it.
