ARTTOUR INTERNATIONAL APRIL 2014
Vivid Arts Beyond Design At the Florence Design Week! by Alison Hart The Florence Design Week, held from April 19th through April 24th, is an exciting international art exposition that will engage all of the viewer's senses. In addition to all of the glamour and charm of the city setting, the particular focus of this week is on sustainability. The Vivid Art Network, which is partnering with this event to bring the exhibition Vivid Arts Beyond Design, seeks to help artists in "creating art to inspire lives." The goal of the Vivid Arts Beyond Design exhibition is to honor the work of artists internationally who are entering into a dialogue about sustainability and to invite the viewers to take part in that same dialogue. The Vivid Arts Beyond Design exhibition will truly have an international flavor, as it features work by artists from eight different countries. Artists from Greece, Australia, the USA, Canada, and Norway are traveling to be personally present at this exhibition. The collection is going to be curated by Viviana Puello, who is the Editor in Chief of the Arttour International Magazine, as well as an artist and the Director of the Vivid Arts Network of New York. www.arttourinternational.com
Puello will be doing a live installation on this theme of sustainability, titled “Beyond Design For a Sustainable Planet." Through fashion, audio-visual experiences, and light, this exhibition will seek to inspire viewers to create a community that will connect them with the earth that they live on. By beautifully demonstrating how art can fuse with a planet-friendly mindset and functionality, it is hoped that viewers will take away inspiration of their own. The scope of this event transcends the typical fashion show by looking into the deeper issues of how our lifestyle choices impact our planet. The opening reception of this event will be broadcast by Toscana TV, so if you are unable to make it in person to see the exhibition, you'll still be able to be a part of the excitement!
