The Venetian Arsenal – a symbol of the “Serenissima” Republic power and military prowess, the heart of its naval industry, is today a completely restored area. Pavilions are covered areas characterized by a common external setting that is unique. They adapt themselves well to the execution of public and private events, especially those wanting to be renowned for absolute originality in an incomparable, historical context.
Since 2006, thousands of artists from every country in the world have participated, works have been exhibited in Venice and many other places, and many have been purchased. Hundreds of international experts from a variety of countries have judged the works of the candidate artists.
