The Venice Glass Week, the international festival founded in 2017 to celebrate, support and promote the art of glassmaking - the artistic and economic activity for which Venice has been known around the world for over a thousand years - is now in its fifth edition, and will be held in Venice, Murano and Mestre from 4th to 12th September 2021.
This year’s event has a new "title-hashtag" #VivaVetro! – a cheer of enthusiasm - also expressed visually via the spectrum of colours in the new graphic image - which is designed to convey the timeless energy of the material of glass, and aims to give support and renewed vigour to the sector of Murano glass production which, after months of closure, is recovering and restarting with optimism.
This support also translates into the awarding of three prizes: the ninth edition of the Glass in Venice Prize, the second edition of the Autonoma Residency Prize and the first edition of the Fondazione di Venezia Prize for The Venice Glass Week. The festival also continues to cater for those unable to reach Venice in person, thanks to the digital programme which includes the second edition of Conversations on Glass by Apice.
Once again, this year The Venice Glass Week - an initiative promoted by the Comune di Venezia and conceived by the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia, Fondazione Giorgio Cini-LE STANZE DEL VETRO, Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti and by the most important organization associated with the glass sector, Consorzio Promovetro Murano, which manages the trademark of the Veneto Region Vetro Artistico® Murano - is part of the programme of “Great Events” supported by the Regione del Veneto.
