In parallel, selections remain open for the production workshop with Mario Cresci scheduled March 18-20 in Fosdinovo for the creation of works that can offer the area a renewed visual identity. Selections will soon open for the other free On-Site workshops led by Tom Lovelace, Marina Caneve, CESURA, Felicity Hammond and Jacopo Benassi in the other 6 Lunigiana municipalities.
