The second edition of “Anacapri Incontra l’Arte” (“Anacapri meets art”), People’s Festival of the Arts, is starting. It is summarized by the acronym “A.!.A.” Gallery, few simple words that embody the spirit of the event: an open-air art exhibition, a lively environment to enhance and promote art.
The event is supported by the Municipality of Anacapri and organized by Pro Loco Anacapri from 23 to 27 July. It will color the streets of the old town center with the exhibition of the works created by participants of every nation.
Registration for the exhibition ANACAPRI MEETS ART is open until 7 July 2014.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF FREE ACCOMMODATION (subject to availability)
Luciano D’Alessandro is the guest and sponsor of the art exhibition. He is a famous Neapolitan photographer and journalist who reported the most important international and national events of the last fifty years through his shots. He has a special relationship with Capri as shown by his book “Così Capri”, published in 1972 with a text by Graham Greene. A series of shots describing the island at the start of the 70s.
There are so many meetings and workshops included in the schedule of this five-day art exhibition, as the first edition of: “La lentezza incontra l’arte” (“Slowness meets art”). Inspired by the beauty of the island, artists coming from all sides will invent a new way of representing food, land and sea. They will give to the island of Capri a new good, clean and fair “snail”, the snail of Slow Food.
Slow Food is an international organization that aims to improve the environment, the economy and the well-being through food. A way to ensure the future of a precious past.
Many workshops have been organized. They aim to deepen the various forms of art of the exhibition: sculpture, painting, photography, dance, comics, fashion, music, theatre.
The schedule will be enriched by musical and dancing performances and poetical readings.
Culinary tastings and walks in the nature have been organized as well.
The artists, guests of the Festival, will be protagonists of exhibitions and projects.
“Anacapri meets art” (“A.!.A.” Gallery) is inspired by a precise idea of art. An art created with hands, mind, heart, not closed in the museums, not only for the few, but that represents humus and vital lymph for everyone. The art exhibition through the streets of the old town center is an occasion of mutual enrichment with discussions and exchanges of ideas, and also gives to the most talented the possibility to emerge.
This is the spirit of the Festival, art as knowledge and available for everyone, Anacapri as source of new talents, not only locals. The town welcomes the artists becoming their patron. All the artists offer their skills and knowledge for free to all the participants, who only have to pay the membership fee to ProLoco and a registration fee (just in some cases).
The opening and inauguration of the art exhibition will take place on 23 July in piazza Edwin Cerio at 8.30pm. The Mayor of Anacapri Francesco Cerrotta and the sponsor of the event Luciano D’Alessandro will be present.
On Sunday 27 July, the institutional image of the 2015 edition will be selected among the works displayed.
Pro Loco Anacapri, with the same spirit of cooperation, launched last march “Adopt an artist”, a solidarity and hospitality campaign. We are looking for local families, both in Capri and Anacapri, willing to host the artists throughout the art exhibition.
Pro Loco Anacapri also presents the opening of the second edition of the Blue Grotto Lottery. The tickets for the prize draw that will take place on Christmas time will be put up for sale.
We are waiting for you!!!
