Between September and October will be held the fifth version of the Festival “Hecho en Casa Fest Entel 2017” (in English “Homemade Fest Entel”) , which this year wanted to open its doors to artists from Chile.
For this reason, a month ago the contest “Ideas Torre Entel” was launched, giving the winner the opportunity to artistically intervene the emblematic building of the capital. Thanks to its successful call for entries, it will extend its application deadlines for ten more days.
Thus, those who still wish to be part of this festival may send their projects until July 25.
The contest is open to individuals or groups composed of artists of legal age residing in Chile. The winning individual or group will join the long list of more than 50 artists from different countries who have participated in past editions of the festival.
The winner of the competition will have a budget of up to $20 million to execute their work, along with a prize of $3 million. In addition, they will have the opportunity to present their work at Hecho en Casa Fest Entel, an urban art festival that has attracted close to 3 million people in each of its four previous editions.
“Hecho en Casa Fest Entel” has stood out for its diverse works of urban art in Santiago, ranging from large murals to large-scale interventions, such as the giant fried eggs falling from the sky by Dutchman Henk Hofstra, which in the 2016 version of the festival positioned Plaza Italia in media worldwide.
“The ‘Ideas Torre Entel Ideas’ contest has generated great interest, we have received many questions and comments. There is enthusiasm and we want to make the most of it, for that reason, and so that interested people have more time to work on their proposals, we have decided to extend it until June 25, and so we hope to receive the most creative ideas to intervene the Entel Tower” , said Payo Söchting, artistic director of the festival.
Meanwhile, Antonio Büchi, CEO of Entel, commented: “The Entel Tower is an icon of Santiago and, therefore, we invite artists to be inspired by it, to generate a work of art that invites people to connect with the city and culture”.
The winning project will be chosen by a jury composed of urban planner Pablo Allard, gallery owner Patricia Ready and journalist Rodrigo Guendelman, specialists in art and urbanism, who will announce their choice in the first half of August.
