The Lazareti Art Workshop |
|
The Lazareti Art Workshop has an important and responsible role in the local community. It was therefore necessary, in accordance to an agreement with city authorities, to define the LAWs position so that the good quality and precise work of the KARANTENA project could commence (the formation of a self-sustained cultural centre).
The KARANTENA project gives the city significant cultural, social and tourist substance. Its modern, urbanely-profiled program, liberal concept and recognizable model make the Lazareti one of the main outcomes of the citys communication with the world. The LAW has organized 160 exhibitions by foreign and local authors, about twenty international groups of concept exhibitions and multimedia happenings, more than 150 concerts, and seventy theatrical performances (several were LAW productions) since its foundation. During the last three years, LAW has also produced a new theatre and performance festival, and has organized numerous lectures, symposiums, video and film programs. |
