The Art Is in the Streets
On Saturday, 10 May, in the
San Lorenzo quarter of Florence, Scuola Lorenzo de' Medici will hold
its second annual "Art is in the Streets" exhibition in conjunction
with its Fashion Department's end-of-semester Fashion Show. This joint
event serves as a continuing effort to nurture a deep respect for different
cultures and nationalities and to firmly root the idea of the sharing
of common areas within the city. Last year, LdM inaugurated this art
competition that involved its art and design students, local businesses
in the San Lorenzo area of various cultures and traditions, as well
as Florentine craftsmen.
This year, LdM will again involve business people willing to display
student work, from small pieces to those that utilize the full space
available. Furthermore, prizes will be awarded to those students who,
through their works of art, bring about beauty, unity and cultural enrichment
to the city.
The competition consists of an art contest divided into two categories:
1. Painting, Drawings, Sculpture, Ceramics and Printmaking
2. Interior design, Fashion Design, Jewelry, Photography and Graphic
Design
Students participating in Art is in the Streets will assume the position
of artistic and social promoters, collaborating with the people who
live in the San Lorenzo area in the spreading of a solid sense of common
citizenship.
