Exhibition-Competition of the 2nd Biennial of Artistic High Schools on the theme “Il Viaggio”

Great success at WEGIL for the exhibition-contest on the theme “Il viaggio” (“The journey”, translator’s note) which presented 200 works by students of 150 Italian high schools. The exhibit moves to the Santa Severa’s Castle, in the Pyrgi area starting from June 9th, with inauguration at 18:00.

The Biennial of artistic high schools represented an “incubator” of creativity and innovation, a ‘traveling festival’, where art becomes the medium for living and spreading culture contaminated by beauty and knowledge. This year’s theme was the journey, which urged an often-inner key, the journey inside oneself, the journey of the soul, but also the reference to the Remembrance journey and the journey of migrants.

Starting from the next edition, the Biennial will be included among the initiatives of the national plan for the enhancement of excellence and the winning students will be included in the national register of excellence.

The ticket to the inauguration on June 9th, starting at 18.00, is free (you have to collect it at the ticket office of the Castle); on the other days the visit to the exhibition is included in the admission ticket.
