“EvolveArt”: to talk to young generations about the energy transition, we are showcasing their talent

We believe that art is a powerful medium to engage with young generations about sustainability, the environment and the energy transition. And with the “EvolveArt” format we also wanted to do something more: support the talent of very young artists studying at Italian art high schools.

This is why the "EvolveArt" competition was launched in 2024, promoted by the FondazioneMAIRE and MAIREGroup, together with the Associazione Amici della Biennale dei Licei Artistici (ABiLiArt), with the support of the Rete Nazionale dei Licei Artistici (ReNaLiArt), with the aim of conceiving, planning and creating original works of art on the theme of "technology and innovation in the energy transition" in all Italian art high schools. 280 bold young artists from 50 high schools and 18 Italian regions took part.

We brought together an exceptional panel of judges to assess the collection of artworks; a task so difficult that they decided on a total of 28 awarded works:  8 winners and 20 special mentions.

The 8 winning artworks will grace the covers of the next 8 issues of the company magazine Evolve (one of which has already been published, the other is scheduled for December 2024!).

"With this initiative, the activities of Fondazione MAIRE are increasingly at the heart of our aspirations: to provide students with the tools and knowledge to address environmental issues by deepening the meaning of sustainable development, in order to guide them towards job opportunities in the energy transition" - commented our Chairman, Fabrizio Di Amato.

To reward the talent of these young artists, we did not stop there. The 28 awarded artworks have become a travelling exhibition: the first stage of the EvolveArt Roadshow kicked off on 21 September at the Bioparco in Rome.
