This press conference was also an opportunity to announce the name of the prize-winning work selected by the public at the Monaco Artists’ Forum.  For this 3^rd Forum, the Department of Cultural Affairs had created a “Public’s Prize,” which was awarded to Diane d'Amico for her work “Woody the Elephant” (bronze).

The exhibition is open until 12 June at the Rainier III Auditorium (from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.)
