International Award for Digital and Photographic Art 2010
18th September 25th of September 2010 Art Museum of Chianciano Terme
The Most Important Digital and Photographic Art event in Europe
that will stimulate and provoke the art lover as well as serve as an
opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts.
In September of this year the Chianciano Art Museum will be transformed. Works by artists such as Durer, Munch, Tiepolo and Magritte will be replaced by what is the next generation of artistic expression, Digital and Photographic Art. Independently from the exhibition, photographic workshops will be held in the conference centre and the library.
The Chianciano Award was instituted to give digital and photographic artists the opportunity to gain visibility on the international scene. The artists displayed will be those who capture their feelings, inspired by the reality around them, expressing their interpretation of life and communicating their philosophy of existence, using the digital revolution as their canvas.
