What is ENOVART
ENOVART is a call to creativity and (…sustainability!), focused on manufacturing design elements by giving objects new uses while using raw materials from the world of wine.
ENOVART is a call that we send out to all those in love with art and wishing to participate in a competition organized under the umbrella of VINARIUM, i.e., to launch a unanimously valid message: The art of wine is not just about the wine in the glasses, but about everything that surrounds it!
Art, ingenuity, and material intelligence, upcycling taken one at a time, in pairs, or all together.
Purpose
The display of creative thinking, artistic talent, recuperation spirit, but also synchronization actions with cultural trends in the global avant-garde.
It serves both artists/creators and the educated audience, the Wine World.
Temporal orientation
Session open until October 1st, 2025.
Intermediate stage, but not mandatory – June 6th, 2023.
To whom ENOVART is addressed
We invite artists, designers, skillful in creating graphics & trompe de l’oeil (“fooling the eye”), laviu en vin (wine ink) on any support (wall, ceramic pots or wood, paper, cloth) or decorative objects, pure art – using materials specific to wineries (staves, barrels, wine bottles, cork stoppers, amphorae, glasses… and the list goes on) or some emerged from the creative universe itself, with limits that we cannot even grasp.
Anyone can sign up!
The competition is open to anyone interested with no restriction whatsoever.
*The participant agrees to have his work displayed, subject to evaluation from different angles (by professionals, public, design, etc.)
How to participate
The process is quite simple:
- by private message on: marketing@iwcb.ro, please send us photos of your works + name, surname, occupation and place of residence;
- then, we will make a selection of the most tendering and interesting works;
- subsequently, the top 10 works will be judged and the best 3 projects will be awarded;
- we will announce the winners on the VINARIUM communication channels and also in private, offering substantial prizes in wine and cash;
More details will follow soon. Stay close! Feel free to share this with anyone you know who enjoys life through forging and crafting.
By way of illustration:
- Staves – painted, fretted, burned, carved, with metal/resin inserts; gold foil-covered barrique stave on a pedestal, as a real fairy bird, flying bird, ray of light (see Brâncuși);
- The wooden screw turned into a totem, or practical – glass table leg/luminaire;
- Long story short – anything is allowed: trompe de l’oeil, laviu en vin (wine ink), hot carved polystyrene, resins (with grapes or vegetable materials), fascia boards, windows, shutters, doors – transformed into tables and other decorative objects;
- Ceramic roof pipes and tiles, new ceramic pots (antiqued or not);
- Cork stoppers, cut/melted glass bottles (e.g. lighting fixtures);
