A Cake to Celebrate “25 years arte binningen“
On Sunday 19th November arte binningen 2017 ended with the serving of a birthday cake. Artists, visitors, and the organisation committee celebrated a successful 25th exhibition together.
arte binningen is over. Colours, forms, emotions and glamour are gone but the wonderful memories remain and will stay with everyone.
The Italian General Consul as well as many representatives from the local political and business life were present at the inauguration that got a particular note through the entertaining show by the renowned Swiss comedian David Bröckelmann.
During the inauguration and the following days numerous art interested visitors saw the exhibition, many acquired artworks, enthusiastic about the beauty and originality of the exhibited paintings, photographs, and objects. This year even saw a particular entertainment programme: the arte week was animated by a wine tasting, workshops for children (with ice cream!), concerts, a brunch and, finally, the award ceremony.
The 2017 Jury Prize went to Esther Link from Basel whose sculptures enthused both the visitors and the jury; the second price went to Natalie Corman from Riehen for her paintings, also a most deserved awarding.
