和SPAIN2U一起穿越西班牙! Celebrate Artistic Brilliance At SPAIN TO YOU!
2020年初，远行受阻
秉持着「把西班牙带到大家身边」的初衷
「SPAIN TO YOU」项目应运而生
2023年春，远行离我们不再遥远
「SPAIN TO YOU」的意义正悄然改变着...
Since the beginning of 2020, when the glamorous international lifestyle we have all come to know was met with considerable challenges, people’s appetite for high quality international cultural experiences has only grown stronger. The SPAIN TO YOU project was created with the intention of providing access to many of the famous and highly desirable aspects of Spain’s rich cultural heritage.
Now, in early spring of 2023, people are increasingly able to travel and connect with international opportunities wherever they may be. The purpose of SPAIN TO YOU is also evolving to offer its growing audience the most exciting and meaningful cultural interactions it can.
「Spain2U不仅让我们了解西班牙，
更让我们了解了上海。」

那么，上海与西班牙究竟有着何种联系，
又有着怎样的交互故事呢？
To fully appreciate the hard work and opportunities created by SPAIN TO YOU, let’s have a quick look at the wider background of the deep rooted relationship between Shanghai and Spain and some of the history of the interactions between the two.
上海近代西班牙风格建筑流行于20世纪20年代中到40年代初，上海的开放性，包容了多种建筑形式，包括西班牙和摩尔风格。
Architecture built in the modern Spanish-style was especially popular from the mid 1920’s to the early 1940’s, and the openness of Shanghai embraced a wide range of architectural forms, including Spanish and Moorish styles.
“老上海”盛行的西班牙式建筑无疑与蓬勃发展的外国社区有关。快速增长的人口导致对房地产的旺盛需求，促使更有才华的建筑师以务实的方式将西班牙元素或特色融入到住宅建造。
The prevalence of Spanish style architecture in "Old Shanghai" was undoubtedly linked to the burgeoning foreign community. The rapidly growing population led to a strong demand for real estate, prompting the more talented architects to incorporate Spanish elements or features into residential construction in a pragmatic manner.
上海近代西班牙风格建筑有41处已列入上海市优秀历史建筑，另据不完全统计，上海现存的西班牙风格历史建筑有多达300处。
Forty-one of Shanghai's modern Spanish-style buildings are listed as Outstanding Historical Buildings in Shanghai, according to another estimate, there are as many as 300 surviving historical Spanish-style buildings in Shanghai.
“我们举办‘SPAIN TO YOU’艺术季活动，不仅仅希望展现上海众多历史建筑中的西班牙印记，而更多的是希望鼓励上海民众了解西班牙文化不同的侧面，同时也希望激发更多西班牙人对上海这座城市的兴趣。”西班牙驻沪总领事Luis Antonio Calvo Castaño先生说道。
早在今年1月初始，SPAIN TO YOU III四场赛事已如期热火如茶地开启艺术作品招募。赛事反响热烈，许多艺术作品给大家留下了深刻的印象。中西建筑、文化、艺术早已悄然越于纸上、定格在菲林、穿插进短视频中。
At the beginning of 2023, the four events of the third edition of SPAIN TO YOU successfully opened with an impressive variety of powerful works representing several aspects of Spanish culture. The response has been overwhelming and many of the works have left a lasting impression on the Shanghai art community. Chinese and Western architecture, culture and art have already been captured on paper, framed in film and interspersed in short videos.
如今从3月17日至5月3日，四场赛事招募的各种形式的艺术作品都会陆续在上海市虹口区今潮8弄三号楼2楼依次呈现。以艺术之名，开启想象的大门，使观者可以自由漫步于这片隐于高楼大厦之间的秘密花园，沉浸式体验文化碰撞中诞生的美，种下独属于每个人“灵感的种子”。
With careful consideration and reflection on the range of art on display, this impressive collection opens the door to our collective imagination, allowing the audience to wander freely though this creative oasis. The cross cultural communication empowered by events such as this allows each of us to immerse ourselves in the beauty born from the clash and interweaving of cultures, and to plant the seeds of inspiration that can flourish within us all.
除了展厅的群展之外，6月开始部分获奖作品将在上海、西安、成都、重庆、济南和郑州6家美利亚酒店集团旗下在华酒店进行巡展。
In addition to the group exhibition in the exhibition hall, some of the winning entries will be on tour at six Meliá Hotels Group hotels in China, including Shanghai, Xi'an, Chengdu, Chongqing, Jinan and Zhengzhou, starting in June.
除了艺术季，SPAIN TO YOU还打造了西班牙生活方式集合店，许多快闪品牌纷纷入驻，众多“奇珍异宝”在此展现，从特色美食到生活品质，从艺术美学到人文交流，一起来一场与西班牙的春日邂逅。
