VAP Venice Art Projects is an art start up stemming from an idea of Edoardo Cimadori, contemporary art project manager and producer working in Belgium and Italy. VAP is a no-profit organisation operating in Venice that sets out to present and promote artists, contemporary art, design and performative arts. VAP is a platform open to artistic projects, a multiple concept space with several exhibitio
n spaces all set in the charming Sestiere Castello in Venice. The VAP exhibition spaces typically operate on a bimonthly schedule inviting artists or curators to develop their personal projects. All initiatives are supported by private funding, artist grants, or special sales. Special events and special night openings are also part of VAP’s programme that integrates with the City of Venice local events for the promotion of the territory. VAP opens this year during the 57th Venice Biennale, an occasion that provides artists the opportunity to give their work international visibility and work with other artists of different ages and nationalities. During its first season, VAP opens its locations in four periods: May–June, September–October, and November–December, and during each period will present works by different artists and selected student/artists from the Fine Art Academy of Venice.
