Rajapack launched the ImballArte competition

The packaging leader has donated some of its products to the Piacenza High School of Art and will award a prize to the best work created from them.

It is a competition in line with the company’s values.

The president of the RAJA Group, Danièle Kapel, a contemporary art enthusiast, has been encouraging talent for several years, supporting the creation of original works, united by the use of packaging materials.
Today, the RAJA collection counts more than a hundred works. Mostly sculptures, paintings, prints and collages. They are all located at the Group’s headquarters in Paris, and unite all employees around the common values of creativity, imagination and modernity, giving them privileged access to contemporary art.

In addition, Danièle created a donation fund for contemporary sculpture in 2010.

This is the Villa Datris, in Isle Sur Sorgue, which offers, through its old 19th century Provençal structure and its garden, a large space for expression and permanent exhibition, intended to promote the works of young emerging talents or artists already internationally recognised.

The donation made by Rajapack Italia last June of various packaging materials to the Liceo Artistico Bruno Cassinari of Piacenza is part of this framework.

The design teacher, Ferruccio Carra, personally chose cardboard boxes and tubes, as well as pallets and wolf-mouth containers for the warehouse

Since 15 November, his fifth grade students and those of professor Dina Bellocchio have been asked to create design or figurative works from the very packaging selected during the summer months.

The work created from the packaging that receives the most approval from the Rajapack managers and the Liceo Artistico teachers will receive a cheque for €1,000, which can be spent on educational material for the class to which it belongs.

The competition will end next 15 December, but there are already some early results.

Here are the complete regulations!
