This year, in addition to the artists who traditionally embellish the alley with their works, a new spirit animates the area: the Thempus association, known for its commitment to preserving local customs, traditions and customs. Thempus brings a breath of fresh air, reinterpreting art as a tool of inclusion.
Another precious collaboration is the one with the social cooperative Work Aut, which is dedicated to the reintegration into work of people with autism. “Art becomes a bridge towards work opportunities, a way to overcome barriers and prejudices,” explains a spokeswoman for the cooperative.
No less important is the contribution of Emozionarte, a now consolidated group that has made its mission of spreading art itinerant. Emozionarte demonstrates how art can find a home in any environment, bringing beauty and reflection everywhere.
Vico degli Artisti confirms itself as a place of meeting and discovery, inviting everyone to explore often forgotten corners of the city. “This project not only enhances art, but rediscovers hidden places, relaunching tourist hospitality thanks to the passion of local residents and entrepreneurs,” adds an organizer.
The scheduled events promise to offer unique moments of aggregation, allowing visitors to rediscover the cultural richness of Barletta through art and inclusion. Passing through Vico degli Artisti this year means immersing yourself in an experience that goes far beyond the simple artistic exhibition: it is an invitation to actively participate in a community that celebrates diversity and collaboration.
«The rebirth of Vico degli Artisti is a clear example of how art can be a powerful vehicle of social and cultural change – explain the organizers Raffaele Rizzi, Angiolo Barracchia, Stefania Grimaldi, Charmelle Calabrese – An unmissable event for anyone who believes in power unifier of art”.
