Three Venetian Galleries Launch Alternative Art Fair 'Together We Stand' After ArtVerona Cancellation
Due to the pandemic's impact leading to the cancellation of ArtVerona 2020, three galleries in Venice—Marignana Arte, Marina Bastianello Gallery, and Galleria Michela Rizzo—have come together to create a joint exhibition titled 'Together We Stand.' This event will take place at Galleria Michela Rizzo on Giudecca Island from November 30, 2020, to January 9, 2021. Designed to resemble an art fair, the exhibition showcases pieces that were intended for ArtVerona. The concept was born from Michela Rizzo's previous successful exhibition featuring Brian Eno and David Tremlett, alongside the DPCM decree that led to ArtVerona's cancellation. The show features works by 18 artists and includes a preview for collectors on November 27. This initiative underscores the collaboration among Venetian galleries, represented by the newly established Venice Gallerie View association, which comprises nine galleries. Rizzo noted that this exhibition aims to turn challenges into opportunities by engaging with local collectors.
