In 2019 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation established the contest ‘Vivo d’arte’ for young Italian artists under 36 living abroad since at least a year, to support their creativity.
The aim of the award is to provide an instrument of visibility and promote the collaboration and contamination between Italian artists and the cultural scene of the country where they live, encouraging them to produce new works that develop the theme of fusion and dialogue between cultures and that involve local artists.
The focus of the award is on the performing arts (music, theatre, contemporary dance) and is supported by the collaboration of the Romaeuropa Foundation.
The initiative also aims to create a network of Italian artists abroad and raise awareness of new Italian immigration, promoting two key contemporary hallmarks of Italy in the world: its creativity and the ability of its artistic talent to express itself even beyond national borders.
The winning project will be presented as a national premiere during the next edition of the prestigious Romaeuropa Festival, that will take place in Rome from the 14th of September to the 21st of November 2021. For that purpose, the organization will cover the expenses related to the creation and production of the winning show, the fees and travel costs, according to the limits indicated in the Regulations document.
Deadline for applications: 30th of April 2021 at 23:59 (GMT+1)
