ABOUT THE EVENT A.I.R. Vallauris: Fête Picasso - Small Art Objects 2009 We are pleased to announce the second bi-annual A.I.R. Vallauris benefit. The event will be in conjunction with the Fête Picasso and will include a competition, exhibition and sale of Small Art Objects. This benefit event will take place bi-annually with the same format but with a different object theme. Benefits to Participants While this is a fund-raising activity to help finance the ongoing activities of A.I.R. Vallauris, the event offers participants a valuable opportunity for exposure. All submitted entries will be exhibited online and in the gallery, and a catalog will be created for the event that will be forwarded to all participants.
The Fête Picasso The Fête Picasso is a popular event that takes place annually in celebration of its most famous artist in residence, who lived and created in Vallauris and the region from 1946 until his death. The presence of Picasso in Vallauris brought with it an unexpected effervescence: the presence of numerous personalities (Cocteau, Prévert…), corridas in the streets as well as Picasso’s birthday parties that were celebrated by the entire town. The "Picasso Effect" was equally visible in the development of Ceramic Art. Several painters and sculptors (Brauner, Pignon, Ozenfant, Prinner, Chagall, Matisse) followed Picasso into the studios of Vallauris and many ceramists (Portanier, Valentin, Diato, Perot…) setup studios in Vallauris, precisely because of this stimulating presence.
Small Art Object 2009 Theme This second bi-annual Small Art Objects event coincides with, and is complementary and collaborative with the “Fête Picasso” taking place in Vallauris July 18th 2009. The theme for Small Art Objects 2009 is: “Relating to BLUE” The Small Art Objects can be made from any material, within the restrictions of size. The exhibition opens on July 18th during the Fête Picasso, and closes August 14th. All Small Art Objects will be sold by way of a silent auction, with proceeds going to A.I.R. Vallauris benefit..
