Venice Projects promotes internationally recognized contemporary artists who have been in the Venice Biennale, or artists who have achieved similar stature, providing some with the opportunity to express their creativity in a new medium, glass. Through its cultural planning activities, and site specific projects, Venice Projects develops educational opportunities for dialogue and experimentation in the use of glass in contemporary art. To exemplify its mission, Venice Projects produces Glasstress, as a travelling exhibition spreading the knowledge of contemporary art in glass worldwide.
