Highlights
  • Acqui Terme - A first edition of a yearly event with artists in the Acqui Terme region during September / October.

Annelies Nuy (visual arts, from the Netherlands, 1960) is the initiator.
She started a research project on how her art can be able to connect, inspire and inform
her own generation, Generation X.
The exhibition is layered from a decorative art wall to innovative thoughts about the future.
In 6 Art Walls 3 old values of Christianity and an interaction with the monastery are

contrasted with 3 new values in the Metaverse, a virtual 3D environment.
The works representing the old values are sober, abstract and meditative.
Annelies chose 3 bible classics: GOLD ,MYRRH and INCENSE.
The new values are abstract and fragmentary, unfinished and with a void still to be filled.
Each art wall has its own future inspired story: MOTION SICKNESS, GASFEES and MINTEN.
in the Q&A layering concepts and underlying thoughts are further explained.

What's Included
  • water
Additional Information

We kick off our journey with an overview of the property, its past, and its current purpose. Note the architecture and intricate details.
Next, we navigate through 6 art displays featuring a total of 50 art pieces, each sized 50x40 cm and 20X30 cm.
Three of these art displays interact with the building and three afford a peek into what lies ahead. The artist herself is on hand to address any inquiries. We conclude our journey with a tasting of water in 3 distinct flavors. The excursion is educational, inspiring, and enjoyable. An added advantage is the potential for social networking.

  • The venue is wheelchair accessible but the road is steep and uneven. The tour is not suitable for children as it is not playful.

A tasteful art tour - We were visiting Acqui Terme on our holiday trip and we found out there was an art tour on the courtyard of the old seminary, now a hotel, next to the Duomo. Annelies , the artist, was there to show us around and share with us all the ins and outs of the expo. The art as exposed fits wonderful in the environment which made the whole experience even more beautiful. So if you want some extra during your stay here join this tour that ends with a refreshing taste of the original Acqui Terme spring water!

Eye opener! - Surprising art tour. The location is right in the center of Acqui Terme very close to La Bolente. Very nice to take a look inside an abandoned seminary. A new interpretation was art... loosely told where the artist got her inspiration from and in a short time we were updated about possibilities in the virtual world. A nice eye opener to think about further.
