Fondazione Casoli Celebrates 10 Years of Art-Business Synergy
Founded in 2007 by the Casoli family in Fabriano, the Fondazione Ermanno Casoli (FEC) marks its tenth anniversary this year. Led by president Francesco Casoli, the foundation weaves contemporary art into the fabric of Elica's culture, fostering innovation and engaging employees. FEC aids emerging artists, hosts installations and workshops, and partners with businesses in the Marche region. Notable events for 2017 include 'E-straordinario for kids' in September, featuring over 100 children, and a workshop in May with Sole24Ore Business School students and artist Francesca Grilli. The 17th Premio Ermanno Casoli is also on the agenda. Additionally, FEC has unveiled a new logo and website, with ten artists, including Grilli, interpreting the number 10, starting with 'Wheel of Fortune.'
