除了制造优质腕表,许多腕表品牌也积极参与支持艺术、体育或保育等活动。劳力士自半世纪以来一直致力于与全球杰出的艺术家和领先的文化机构合作,最近在雅典举办了「劳力士艺术节 – 庆祝劳力士创艺推荐资助计划成立二十周年」的活动。
劳力士导师与门徒艺术计划(Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative)为新兴艺术家提供与其所属领域大师交流的机会,以提升他们的自信心,发掘和展现自己的创作潜能。该计划涵盖音乐、建筑、电影以及劳力士导师与门徒艺术计划,并充分证明了品牌对全球文化的长期承诺。
This festival was organized by Emma Gladstone OBE, the former artistic programmer and independent arts consultant of Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London, and the former artistic director and executive director of Dance Umbrella. The festival featured over 30 exciting performances and activities in theaters, galleries, and public spaces throughout the city of Athens for a week. The program covered various fields including dance, theater, music, film, architecture, visual arts, and literature, providing opportunities for Greek artists, experts, and young people to learn and exchange ideas.
