OUR SERVICES
PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS
It proposes its curatorial activity on themes of historical-artistic, social and environmental importance by selecting the best artistic projects related to the proposed themes through international open calls and taking care of every detail in every design phase of the exhibition. Each exhibition is accompanied by the publication of catalogs and promoted through sectoral and marketing channels.
ARTISTS MANAGEMENT
It is dedicated to artists who intend to promote their work following every detail of all cultural, technical and commercial aspects. A 360° path that provides for the enhancement of the artistic work and of the artist through the participation in exhibitions, fairs, reviews and special projects and all the advertising hype that follows. Through our open calls, artists will be able to submit their works and, in case of selection, participate in the exhibitions we organize.
ART AND BUSINESS
It intends to be a virtuous example of synergy between the artistic and entrepreneurial worlds, which will aim to make two areas interact erroneously perceived as distant and instead able to give life together to new and profitable paths to generate development and relaunch the economy, thanks to the “universal” language of art.
