« Virus’Attack ! »: Lyonbiopôle looking for young artists

For the opening of its Infectiology Disease Center  , Lyonbiopôle (Healthcare Shield  from diagnosis and prevention to treatment of humans and animals infectious diseases) is launching a competition for young creators (- 30 years old).


Students from art schools, associations and independent graphic artists from Rhone Alps are invited to create a model (1.5m/26.5cm horizontal paper) depicting the theme: " Virus'Attack ! "

 

A jury composed of regional personalities from the art sector will award a prize (€ 2000) based on the models given by the candidates.

 

The winner will then deliver a work based on the chosen model, which will then be reproduced as a giant canvas painting on a wall (15 meters /2.65 meters)

The models of all the participating artists will be exhibited in Lyon and Grenoble in order to support the project and will be relayed by the media activity " Youthmeeting Public Health."

 

With this competition, Lyonbiopôle creates a new action around the Art and Research themes and launches, beyond its mission of public health, a social and educational mission targeting young artists.
