VALCELLINA AWARD
http://www.premiovalcellina.org/
For the purpose of celebrating the
first ten years of the Award’s activity (1995-2005)
and the first twenty years of Le Arti Tessili
Association's activity, a special edition of the
competition is called:
A meeting on fiber art policies,
techniques, strategies, and the pertaining didactics in
European universities/academies
will take place the day before the award inauguration and
the prizing of the winners in order to focus on these
problems which are often ignored by Italian art
institutions.
The area where the award takes place along with
the related exhibitions and meetings is the western part
of Friuli, i.e., that land called Valcellina with its
beautiful landscapes and historical spas, surrounded by
peaceful quiet and able to make us reconcile with the
rest of the world. Great writers have written on it like
Claudio Magris and Mauro Corona (writer, climber, and
sculptor, one of the top writers with Mondadori), and
theatre artists like Marco Paolini have presented it on
the stage. The Valcellina Award, supported by the Region,
Province and Maniago and Montereale town administrations
becomes a good medium to promote the territory and invite
competitors, the public or visitors to come to Valcellina
on the occasion of the award presentation.

The
Meeting:
On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the Award,
an international meeting on "Creatività/y",
innovative didactics, will be held on 18 April
2008. This is the first meeting in
Italy devoted to didactics in textile/fiber art.
It is a rather interesting opportunity to get to know and
confront with the different methods used by the
various teachers and lecturers who represent the
prestigious schools and institutes invited.
As an enclosure, we are sending you the meeting program
and entry form. Please note that participation is
free.
