Homo Faber 2021, the new dates

10/04/2022 - 01/05/2022

The Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship is pleased to inform that the event "Homo Faber: Crafting a more human future", planned in Venice to promote and celebrate the finest international artistic craftsmanship, has been confirmed and rescheduled: the new dates 10 April - 1 May 2022. The decision to reschedule the event was made in agreement with the Giorgio Cini Foundation, the Cologni Foundation and the many partners, primarily to protect the health and safety not only of the artisans and staff participating in the event, but also of all visitors who wish to attend. Homo Faber will include the opening week of the Venice Art Biennale, one of the most important and prestigious events in the world related to the culture of contemporary creation. A choice that coincides with the hope of restoring value and visibility to master craftsmen. www.homofaberevent.com
