Since 2008, LAO has organized the contest-exhibition“PREZIOSA YOUNG”, dedicated to emerging artists selected through an international competition. The aim is to contribute to the promotion and circulation of what is new in research jewellery. Every edition, we invite worldwide artists, goldsmiths, designers, young professionals to present projects that illustrate the work in which they are currently involved. An international jury composed by curators, artists and critics selects a small number of candidates from all those who have submitted their candidature. In 2019, the jury composed of artists, curators, teachers and gallerist finally selected 3 young artists.
