Where a continuous dialogue and exchange, flows between fashion, design, art, culture amongst the brightest creative minds a town open to the world: Trieste.
Values
Trans-cultural, trans-generational and trans-social. Sustainable, generous and inclusive.
A place inspired by the creative minds that for two decades spellbound one of the most heartfelt and acclaimed competitions in the world. Where new generations of talents and expert jury, bring together professional figures and artists that revolve around worlds fuelled by creativity.
It is this creative sparkle that transforms us into artists and adventurers, inventors and composers, story-tellers and poets, making us one of a kind. From our individual perceptions and instincts we are able to create something extraordinary. To be able to thrive and make the world sustainable for future generations. To instill the circularity of inclusive ideas and the generosity in people.
The magic of an archive collection of 18.000 portfolio, over 325 outfits, 152 accessories, 103 jewelry and over 700 photo projects, is at the heart of the place, following are the exhibition spaces dedicated to the Permanent Collection and temporary exhibits; articulating into multifunctional rooms and workshops: a concentration of knowhow and learning, of what could be and what already is.
Or perhaps just crafted in the studio and available in the shop, self-financing resource and branding.
A panorama of projects that are not just to be viewed but narrate the creative process where they came from and their story.
A trove of primary materials and repurposed materials to tell new stories, always selected with care and attention to environmental impact.
Give back. Return. Recirculate. Share the process and tribulations, success and defeats. A stage set with creative minds eager to share their artistry and secret tricks of the trade. Giving back experience leads to new ideas and reveals new solutions.
The circularity of Arcademy is all this: a kaleidoscope that is turned by esthetic and ethic forces mixing colours, shapes, reusing materials and ideas, spreading fragments of life and experience. An empathetic emporium that will not leave visitors indifferent.
