Alina Art Foundation together with Art Association and Exhibition Space Inarttendu of Aosta present the first edition of the international contemporary art competition ArteAlta. The art forms allowed are: painting, sculpture and installation, photography, graphic art, illustration, video art and short films.
THEME
“Fear”, the theme of the competition aims to explore the vast and complex spectrum of emotions, which is why we are looking for works of art that challenge the traditional perception of fear, transforming it from a simple emotion into fertile ground for analysis, reflection and, finally, transformation. The theme invites artists to peer into the depths of fear, exploring its many facets: fear as a driver of change, as a founding element of our collective fears, as a force that shapes our daily decisions and emotions. Artists are
encouraged to use a variety of mediums and techniques, so we expect to see works that are provocative, that stimulate the minds and hearts of viewers, leading them to explore their own relationship with fear.
