Announcing to the Austin area art community the chance to create artwork that is inspired from the concept: “THE SPIRIT OF ITALY.” The artwork submitted may be of Italian landscapes, architecture, cuisine, culture, etc. ­The artists can create anything they want and in any style but the art must evoke a central theme: “THE SPIRIT OF ITALY.” The art will be displayed the entire week, then auctioned off during the night of the MODA\VINO Grand event. The money raised through the auction will be donated to local charity, Heart House Austin.

MODA\VINO is the Italian celebration of premium fashions and fine wines. During the grand event, the fashion show models will exhibit the latest clothing from premier Italian designers from Keepers men’s clothing as well as a wine tasting featuring Italian wines.
