Florence Biennale<\/em>\u00a0is the major contemporary art exhibition in Florence (Italy), where it is regarded as an outstanding showcase of the international contemporary art production.<\/p>\n

Every two years the\u00a0Florence Biennale<\/em>\u00a0enlivens the Medicean city with a programme of collateral events such as conferences, displays, performances, workshops and lectures. All this with a view to offer artists and their audience the opportunity to engage with art and culture, and know more about the theme of each edition of the biennial.<\/p>\n

Since it was founded the\u00a0Florence Biennale<\/em>\u00a0has been a free, independent, and innovative \u2018platform\u2019 for contemporary art. Over the years thousands of artists from over a hundred countries have exhibited their works at the Florence Biennale, which brings in the main art forms and disciplines.<\/p>\n

During each edition of the\u00a0Florence Biennale<\/em>\u00a0an International jury composed of distinguished scholars, art historians and critics from different countries confer the\u00a0\u2018Lorenzo il Magnifico\u2019 Award<\/a>\u00a0to the best exhibiting artists, or winners to be chosen amongst the finalists for their works on display, respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The exhibiting artists compete in a range of art categories, which, in the XIIth<\/sup>\u00a0edition of the\u00a0Florence Biennale<\/em>, includes\u00a0Drawing & Calligraphy, Painting, Mixed Media, Sculpture, Ceramic Art, Textile & Fiber Art, Jewellery Art, Photography, New Media Art, Video Art, Installation Art, and Performance Art<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the\u00a0\u2018Lorenzo il Magnifico\u2019 Lifetime Achievement Awards<\/a>\u00a0are conferred to individuals and institutions who have reached pinnacles of artistic achievement or stood out for their contribution to culture.<\/p>\n

The cross-cultural dialogue through art is one of the main principles that have inspired the\u00a0Florence Biennale<\/em>\u00a0since its foundation.<\/p>\n

Because of this the artists participating to the\u00a0Florence Biennale<\/em>\u00a0virtually become ambassadors of tolerance and peace as they share these values, as well as respect for diversity, without which such a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary event would not be possible.<\/p>\n

Florence Biennale<\/em>\u00a0is committed to fostering awareness of the importance of art and the role of artists in societies by reviving history while looking at the present for a sustainable future of creativity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
