The Biennale attracted an impressive number of enthusiasts, artists and visitors. Each day of the seventh edition was studded with collateral events and conferences, such as that of Gregorio Luke, Former Director of the MOLAA at Long Beach, among others that can be seen in our website www.florencebiennale.org

The exhibition doesn’t receive any public neither private financial assistance. The exhibition is entirely funded by artists, that can search for sponsors independently in their own country. To those possible sponsors indicated by artists, Arte Studio will provide to send a formal request. Sponsors will be published both in the general catalogue and the website, as you can see by visiting the sponsor’s page present in our website, that helped some artists in the past biennales.

Grady Zeeman: I was invited to take part in the Florence Biennale 2011. Now I need to find sponsors. Any ideas on how to go about?

sandi wells: I was also invited to take part in the Florence Biennale 2011. I intend making every effort to get there - I would love to hear from other artists who want to go too. Sponsorship is obviously a big issue!
