A global gathering is set to descend on Beeston this March as international artists and film-makers descend on the town for a stimulating art and cultural weekend of events.

Marysia Zipser, CEO of Art-Culture-Tourism, has organised the Italy Arts and Photography Exhibition, featuring award-winning professional journalist, author and visual artist, Roberto Alborghetti. The exhibition is a result of Marysia’s work to build a relationship between Italy and Beeston.

Taking place during the weekend of Beeston Film Festival (for which ACT is Sponsor of Best Audience Award), Art-Culture-Tourism at The Hive in Beeston will be running the exhibition from March 9 to 24.

Along side art work by Roberto there will be photographs of Italy by local and international contributors, locally handmade Italian-leather shoes crafted by shoemaker Peter Bullock and work by visual artist Joe Ganech who is visiting the UK during the exhibition too.

​The exhibition comes after the Art Culture Tourism opening at The Hive on January 6.

Marysia said: “Since it opened it has become a sanctuary for people to talk about art and heritage, and all of the businesses based here work well as a team”.

Marysia’s gallery also features work from Canadian artist Rand Heidinger, who may be visiting this year.  Rand’s work can be found in private, corporate and public collections throughout Canada and the United States as well in HRH Prince Phillip’s collection of the ‘Arts for Nature Trust’ in Buckingham Palace.

Also for the first time on global public view, are thirteen artworks by Florentine painter Giuseppe Capineri (1923-1994) collected by Marysia during her time as UK agent for Giuseppe in the 1980s.  

Roberto is a prolific author and visual artist from Bergamo and this visit will be his fifth to Beeston in less than four years. His biographical volumes on Pope Francis have been published into multiple languages across the world.

During his visit, Roberto will be premiering his latest film ‘Land Rover Mapping’, alongside his previous successful short films of The Ghost Bus, on March 9th 7-9pm at Chilwell Arts Theatre.

The original film is about a bus which was rescued from a Suffolk field and is now kept in Bartons garage in Beeston, which is where Roberto discovered it. It gave him the inspiration for his film which has earned him a strong following.

Joe Ganech is a Spanish born, Belgian artist, who Marysia also represents and whose work is on display at the gallery. His work ‘Queen Victoria Complete’ will be presented to Royalty later this year and he will be also visiting Nottingham from March 7 to 14, as well as Memphis USA artist Kimberly Pelkey.

For a list of confirmed VIP attendees this can be found in the full press release document.
