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. |
