Venice Galleries View: Nine Galleries Unite for Biennale Weekend
Venice celebrated its first Venice Galleries View from November 24 to 25, 2017, aligning with the final days of the Venice Biennale. This initiative was led by a coalition of women-run galleries such as A plus A, Alberta Pane, and Victoria Miro, with the goal of enriching the city’s contemporary art scene. Visitors were provided with a printed map to navigate through various galleries and cultural sites. Key attractions included a performance by the Tommaso Genovesi Quartet at Massimodeluca and an art showcase titled "Venezia Icon" by Chuck Freedman and Zohar Kawaharada, alongside guided tours on the last day.
