What is art?
An expression of one's feelings?
An interpretation of an idea?
What does it mean to you?
Whatever it is ... there are so many different ways to express it and to enjoy it.
In Molise art is expressed in so many mediums, on walls, in churches, in shops, and in galleries.
There are artists of all ages, who need to get there art out there.
In this blog we are looking at ART in a very DIFFERENT WAY.
FACE PAINTING and BODY PAINTING..
Earlier this year around carnival time we did some facepainting at the BEATNIK cafe in Campobasso, the capital city of the region.
Other artists like Emanuele Fiume Milk and Zaira Stabile - a photographer.
The cafe is tucked away in the centre down a little gallery just in front of the main post office.
You can't miss it. They are the only CAFE there, but at the end of the gallery is ZEPPLIN PUB
http://www.zeppelinpubcampobasso.it/ which I will cover in anohter blog. They offer a great range of beers to suit all palates and it is defiantely a pretty cool hang out too.
A unique Experience for the artist, author, poet, photographer the BEATNIK is an amzing venue.

They regualarly host events and exhibitions for local artists.
And it run by two friendly, extraordinaryly delightful young women., Anglea and Valentina ....Their ambition was to bring something different to Campobasso and they certainlly have.
They are both fascinated by the BEATNIK MOVEMENT of the 1950s and 60s.
which is based on the antimaterialistic literary movement, that began with Kerouac in the 1940s, stretching on into the 1960s.
A CIRCOLO LETTARARIO does not really have an equivlent in the UK. It is a combination of bookshop, library, reading room, cafe, music venue and bar.
You can read books, enjoy a coffee, or a glass of wine, a game of Chess, conversation and music.
