Light Art Colors Award is inspired by art, colors and light in Venice. We have invited the creatives to submit lighting systems, floor lamps, interiors projects, architectural projects where the light has a particular meaning. The light, has always interacted with art and its colors, giving strong emotions to those who live this meeting. In the beautiful location of the Oratory of the Crociferi, in Venice, will be exhibited lamps that express emotions through the sensibility to the light or colors.
Exhibition location is in the Campo dei Gesuiti, the Oratory has within it the pictorial cycle of Jacopo Palma il Giovane. It was built between 1583 and 1592 by the will of the Doge Pasquale Cicogna.
