RECANATI ART FESTIVAL is a joined festival of theater, dance and music and comes from an idea of collaboration, contamination and sharing between the various cultural realities of the territory.
In Italy there are many artistic realities, among institutions, associations and schools, of a high professional level, that fail to have the right visibility. Ignoring them means wasting precious human capital, whose value can have positive implications for the whole community. In his Poetics, Aristotle identified the cathartic value of art and even more nowadays everyone recognize the therapeutic value of artistic disciplines. Picasso claimed that “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life “, Alain De Botton – John Armstrong affirm in a similar way that “art is not only an object of aesthetic appreciation, but also a powerful tool to improve our life “.
The association “Whats Art” was born in Recanati from the will of young people coming from different artistic experiences, with the purpose to involve contemporary artistic talents in the creation of events for everyone to enjoy. Audience and artists come together to appreciate Art in all its various meanings. This is a constant commitment that provides for the collaboration throughout the year with the many cultural realities in the area. To sum up this commitment, Whats Art has created the Recanati Art Festival, a summer two days in the historic center of Recanati, focused on a variety of artistic shows.
