Design Welcome

ArtVerona is the contemporary art fair now at its 10th edition, hosted in Verona, the world-famous art and historical city also inscribed in the UNESCO world heritage list. The aim of ArtVerona is the promotion of the values of the art market within an exhibition that is also a cultural event, increasingly attentive towards research and workshops, which are essential creative breeding grounds for active thought.

Pursuing further the research and experimenting path, ArtVerona features a wide range of artists and movements within contemporary and modern art, offering a valuable insight in the art market.

What we are looking for

The aim of Design Welcome is the development of a urban furnishing design project for the 2015 edition of the fair, able to welcome at best the visitors, introducing them right inside the event atmosphere. It is about a unique project conceived specifically to accompany the ArtVerona visitors along the path that connects the Re Teodorico ticket-booths with the entrance of the fair (see Material files)

Values: the project must be in compliance with the contemporaneity, innovation and eco- sustainability criteria adopted by ArtVerona, the modern and contemporary art-fair that throughout the years has stood out for the conception of innovative concepts both with regards to thinking and installation. Through Design Welcome, ArtVerona pursues further the research and experimenting path started in the last years through a rich agenda of collateral events inside and outside the fair, also in light of the institutional strengthening given by the recent acquisition by Veronafiere (www.artverona.it).

Deliverables: choose the most suitable technique to represent your concept, attaching rendering, indications about materials and production technologies, together with a first assessment of the production costs.

Constraints: for the realisation of the project keep into consideration safety requirements suggested by common sense. The budget available for the production shall not exceed €20.000,00 (twenty- thousand-euro).

Structure: keep in mind that the project you propose should be conceived so as to be renewable year after year and sport at the same time a reusable structure.
