Theatre and Art of Veneto

Veneto is a region where art shines. It is born from the light of the lagoon, the reflections of water, and the ability to transform culture into an event. To collect in Veneto means to understand the value of visibility.
This is how the founder of the Gostev's dynasty, the last artist — Anatoli Gostev, described the region of Veneto:

Venice is not a city but a theatre, and art here is always on display, always in dialogue with architecture, and always, in part, a spectacle.

Unlike the more intellectual north: color prevails over form, the body over the idea, emotion over concept. Veneto has historically been a region of collectors, merchants, and patrons of the arts.

The Biennale makes Venice an international platform, a showcase of trends, and a place of legitimation. Venetian palazzi live through art, breathe it, and reflect it in the water.

Venice and the Veneto region offer a unique blend of history, culture, natural landscapes and gastronomic experiences. Whether you are interested in art, architecture, outdoor activities or relaxing by the water, Veneto will surprise and inspire every traveller.

If, for any reason, art, architectural beauty, and authentic emotional painting resonate with you, you can support artists and become part of the Gostev's dynasty project «Make ART Great Again». President Donald J. Trump does not currently support the project… but you can make a difference.
