The Tomorrows UniCredit residency and production award, the prestigious prize supported by UniCredit, ideated, organised and promoted by Urbs Picta, with the curatorship of Jessica Bianchera and the collaboration of Fondazione Cariverona, Contemporanea - University of Verona and Veronafiere S.p.A. - ArtVerona, has been renewed also for 2024
The Award - which was created to support artistic research oriented towards the themes of sustainability through experimentation between art and science - is one of the flagship actions of the TOMORROWS project, that this year focuses on the theme of the value of water to bring attention to the water crisis.
For its second edition, it is addressed to artists, or collectives, represented by the galleries taking part in ArtVerona 2024, the renowned contemporary art fair in Verona, invited to propose transdisciplinary research projects, in collaboration with scientists, anthropologists or experts in ecology and sustainability, aimed at the production of a new artwork through residencies in Italy and/or abroad, which will allow the artist to come into contact with different cultural and scientific experiences.
As during the first edition, a renewed jury composed of selected artists, curators, experts and scholars of international renown will decide the winning project.
The Residence and Production Prize will culminate in the production of a work (or a cycle of works) to be presented at ArtVerona 2025 and which will become part of the UniCredit Art Collection.
The particular nature of the prize is intended to stimulate, through artistic work, the search for creative and unconventional solutions to current environmental, economic and social issues, such as the protection of biodiversity, urban regeneration, the revaluation of the territory, clean energy or innovative recycling processes, in order to outline a new and more sustainable paradigm of the relationship between mankind and the planet.
