This spring, the cultural offer of the charming village, which has received national recognition, will be enriched with an exhibition in its streets and squares, initiated by the municipality of Canobbio in collaboration with the Scuola di Scultura of Peccia.
Duration of the exhibition: 9th April to 7th October 2022
The Scuola di Scultura is a privately owned educational institution in Ticino.
The professional level and the special ambience offer optimal conditions for a four-year part-time further education course in the field of sculpture and three-dimensional design. Art teachers, art therapists, architects, gallery owners or other professional people with an interest in sculpture and three-dimensional design, choose to attend this course. It concludes with an independent artistic project, an exhibition and a written work. The graduates receive the certificate ‘Stone carving and three-dimensional design’ from the Scuola di Scultura. On the occasion of the ‘Canobbio espone’ sculpture exhibition, the school’s training supervisors and directors, Almute Grossmann-Naef and Alex Naef, have made a selection of 14 final works to curate an interesting and tailor-made exhibition for Canobbio. The artists come from Aargau, Bern, Glarus, Schaffhausen, western Switzerland and, of course, from Ticino. Even from neighbouring Germany, from Konstanz, Munich, Krefeld and Darmstadt, the works find their way back to Ticino, to the place where they were created.
