The 12th Florence Biennale - International Exhibition of Contemporary Art and Design kicks off

From Oct. 18 to 27, the 12th Florence Biennale- International Exhibition of Contemporary Art and Design opens, which, this year will be dedicated to the art and genius of Leonardo da Vinci.

The event includes the following art categories in competition: drawing and calligraphy, painting, mixed media, sculpture, ceramic art, textile art, art jewelry, photography, multimedia art, video art, performance art and art installation.

The event also awards the “Lorenzo the Magnificent” Lifetime Achievement Award to individuals and institutions that have distinguished themselves for artistic merit or for their contribution to culture.

Dialogue between peoples through art has been one of the inspiring principles of the Florence Biennale since its founding.

The artists who participate in the event make themselves ambassadors of peace and tolerance without which this multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary event, in which respect for diversity is a value, would not be possible.

This is why the Florence Biennale claims the importance of art and the role of artists in civil society by looking at the past and present for a sustainable future of creativity.

For all information and the program you can visit the event’s official website.
