StArt_ Padova 2019: Young Artists Transform Professional Studios into Exhibition Spaces
In November 2019, the second edition of StArt_ Padova Studi per l'Arte was held, a competition aimed at artists under 30 from Italy and abroad. Supported by the Municipality of Padua, the University of Padua's Department of Cultural Heritage, the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, and GAI – Giovani Artisti Italiani, this initiative, which began in 2018, seeks to enhance contemporary visual arts and create links between art and various professions. Over five months, ten professional studios in Padua, including those of accountants and architects, were converted into dynamic spaces for art until March 31, 2020. A technical committee chose twelve artists, including Beatrice Alici and Giordano Tricarico, who received the Premio Padova Ospitale. On November 15, during Arte Padova, three €1,000 prizes were awarded, with special mentions for Marta Naturale and Eva Chiara Trevisan.
