Description
I'm Simona I studied art and a few years ago I created an artist's residence in the family home where through art and culture we meet and we talk to each other so we thought that anyone who wants can share their material goods if you want to share with us your time and live the experiences we make and give a little of your time knowing the territory we are waiting for you.
The goal is to improve the existing structures to make welcoming friends, volunteers and students more and more pleasant and comfortable to make the area known to those who come to visit us from more perspectives, also facing the difficulties of the place. any proposal is super welcome to share the desire to do! at the moment we have an old boat that we want to transform into an art gallery and an old ruolotte also destined for pulping we would like to make them two art galleries that talk about stories of sea and land and where who knows what other things can also be proposed activities to be done in collaboration with the services of the municipality of castellammare del golfo and the various associations with which I collaborate.
L'obiettivo è quello di migliorare le strutture esistenti per rendere sempre più piacevole e confortevole l'accoglienza di artisti amici,parenti volontari fare conoscere il territorio a chi ci viene a trovare da piu' prospettive anche affrontando le difficolta del posto. qualunque proposta è super gradita per condividere voglia di fare! al momento abbiamo una vecchia barca che vogliamo trasformare in galleria d'arte e una vecchia ruolotte anche lei destinata al macero ci piacerebbe renderle due gallerie d'arte che parlano di storie di mare e di terra e dove chissa quali altre cose si possono proporre anche attività da fare in collaborazione con i servizi del comune di castellammare del golfo e le varie associazioni con il quale collaboriamo, se sei un artista ( Street art) architetto, muratore designer grafico videomaker fotografo , tutto fare ...amante della natura o una semplice persona amante della natura dell'vivere insieme e hai voglia di condividere il tuo tempo ti aspettiamoTypes of help and learning opportunities
