A toast to famed photographer Elliott Erwitt, who is behind the images in a new advertising campaign for San Pellegrino sparkling mineral water. Erwitt, who spent his childhood in Milan (a fact that will come in handy at the next Magnum Photos Pub Quiz), captured Italian bonhomie in a series of black-and-white photographs shot in Milan and Liguria. The theme of the campaign is “Live Italian,” and it was developed for the Nestle-owned brand by the Milan office of Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide. “We were looking for snaps in reportage style,” Roberto Greco, creative director at the Ogilvy Milan office, told The New York Times.Worldstudio and AIGA have awarded $56,500 in scholarships to 26 students studying art and design disciplines in U.S. colleges and universities.

Guggenheim Museum will hold a kind of performance art camp for adults.

Participants will explore the artistic process and “formulate their own creative expressions” by looking at and discussing works of art, writing, drawing, examining personal mementos, and participating in collaborative discussions, according to the Guggenheim. If that wasn’t tempting enough, note that “a final reflection concludes the process,” and with Finley at the helm, that may involve rolling naked in honey.
