For over twenty years Cittadellarte has placed at the center of its mission the development of educational practices in which art plays a fundamental role in activating socially responsible transformations in the territories. As part of this work, in the last two years, the Biella area has actively collaborated in the development of the Next Generation, Please! Project, an educational program shared with important European cultural centers (such as the Pompidou Center in Paris and the Palais des Beaux-Arts Brussels Bozar), with teachers, artists and students from two French and Belgian high schools, supported by the contribution of the European Union.

One of the keys in the execution of the work and in the relative contents of the program will be, once again, the United Nations Agenda 2030: a relationship with the SDGs ‘sugellata’ also by ASVIS, which has included the event in the program of initiatives of the 2019 Sustainable Development Festival.

The second edition of City of lands. Ronco and the Biellese for ceramics.

City of lands starts from the long tradition of the terracotta artisan production, the so-called “bielline“. The presence in Ronco of the Ecomuseum of Terracottas is the starting point to build a path that includes part of the Biella area, in order to combine a ancient knowledge with the most innovative experiences of contemporary artists.

On 18 and 19 May 2019, Good morning Ceramic takes place throughout Italy, the event that has made the art of modeling, baking and painting clay, the most joyful and colorful spring weekend.

It is an ideal journey, but not only, through the hand-made Italy, the art shops and artist’s ateliers, the creativity that renews tradition, the elderly masters and young designers. Good morning Ceramic is also an experiential journey that brings out the pleasure of expressing oneself and doing: working with clay stimulates sensations and emotions, it is therapeutic.

The Biellese edition is distributed in three municipalities: Ronco Biellese, Graglia and Sordevolo, and is presented both as an exhibition of ceramic creations, and as a photographic exhibition, offering the public different possibilities to approach such an ancient artistic technique.

All three exhibitions will open on Saturday 18 May and will be open to the public every Sunday until 16 June 2019 from 15.30 to 18.30 or by appointment.
