Every programme brings the very best international creative talents together with residents to share knowledge, explore ideas, build identity and create an unforgettable experience.

Four pillars to help you develop your story:

• Hands on Apprenticeship: making tangibles for community use, dealing in real things with real people.

• Trade Craft  － presentation and branding, identifying hallmarks of authenticity and quality, reading the past through objects, intercultural relations and connoisseurship, money, selling and negotiation.

• Learning through Venetians in their original habitat, Italian dolce vita and relation with place.​

Why Venice

Venice provides an incomprehensible wonder of art, science and nature, fragility and endurance, with an exquisite history of trade, process knowledge and innovation.  Teeming with artisans and masters, people happy with their métier looking together to resolve across-the-board issues of future sustainability. A very small community with its own culture, language and cuisine and at the same time an international heavyweight in tourism, art, architecture and cinema. Of both land and sea, part of Italy, part of Europe and once part of ancient empires. Every corner World Heritage.  And yet, the Serenissima is one of the safest and most intimate cities in the world.  Venice retains one foot in the best traditions of the past and every year embraces a mass of contemporary culture.  Venice.  The futurist, the  traditionalist, the outsider, the darling, the diva, and even the dog.​
