Calling all teen artists!
Carmel Cortona Sister Cities Committee sponsoring new art contest to honor Renaissance painter Luca Signorelli
Attention young teen artists! The Carmel Cortona Sister Cities Committee has launched a contest for artistic painters ages 14-19 who can create a piece of art that pays honor to Luca Signorelli, an Italian Renaissance painter from Carmel's Sister City, Cortona, Italy. On the 500th anniversary of Signorelli’s death, a highly anticipated “Signorelli 500” exhibit has been planned in Cortona and the young artists of Carmel will have their winning selections included alongside of others in Cortona.
Cash prizes will be paid to the winning artists. The works will be judged here in Carmel and the first-place winner will receive a $200 cash prize. Second place will receive $100 and third place will receive $50. Winning artwork will also be displayed in Carmel.
Who was Luca Signorelli? The artist is a much celebrated and revered citizen of Cortona. The students from Luca Signorelli Higher Education Institute of Cortona filmed, wrote and produced a video about the artist. This link takes you to the video.
