Venezia
Contemporanea is a
non profit cultural association based in Venice, Italy,
and was founded
with the aim to promote and support talented young artists in the field
of the visual arts. Venezia Contemporanea invites young Italian artists as well as artists from abroad to participate in its activities, to conduct a mutual dialogue on social, environmental and political issues. Venezia Contemporanea thinks, that such a dialogue is an optimal way to exchange ideas, which will lead to more open mindedness, tolerance and cultural enrichment for all. Venezia Contemporanea cooperates with the municipality of Venice and the Venice Biennale. It utilizes exhibition spaces and galleries in Venice for international art events, multimedia, video art, plastic art, installations and experimental projects.
