Just when everything seemed to be falling into pieces, a small Cultural Center decided to transform the historical center of a town by dedicating it to art and culture. In this way, it gave the town a new identity in the present with the hope of a better future. The first six years of the Farm Cultural Park has created many opportunities and has engaged artists from around the world. This cultural center is home to an art gallery as well as other exhibition spaces where temporary painting exhibits and permanent contemporary art installations are set up. In addition, many cultural events are organized inside the Farm such as: book launches, musical events, festivals, workshops with young adults and children as well as competitions amongst architects. Farm Cultural Park has always been involved in many different cultural activities. Every year thousands of artists, designers, journalists and even visitors come here to share their experiences with others.
After spending a day at the ancient ruins of Valley of the Temples, we took a short trip to Favara to see this experimental art center that has brought new life to this town which otherwise you would never visit. Definitely worth the short trip. Everyone visiting the area must go, if only to support this effort to revitalize a poor town and bring modern art and architecture to children and families there. Much like the revitalization of once-decrepit parts of Brooklyn, NY or Oakland, CA. This should be on every art and history lover's itinerary of Sicily.
