For the first time the OpenArtCode group of international artists will exhibit in Venice

After the recent successful show at the Grand Palais in Paris in November 2015, the OpenArtCode group will exhibit in Venice at Palazzo Cavalli Franchetti. This historic building, located directly on the Grand Canal, is situated in the most visited area of Venice near the Accademia Gallery and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. This is the heart of the cultural centre of Venice, where the famous Teatro La Fenice, Palazzo Grassi, Punta della Dogana, Palazzo Fortuny and Ca’ Rezzonico are also located.

Forty-eight artists will be exhibiting at Palazzo Cavalli Franchetti under the umbrella of OpenArtCode during the world-famous Venice Carnival and all genres of art can be admired, including painting, drawing, sculptures, photographs, digital art and installations. OpenArtCode is composed of a group of renowned artists who have very different technical styles and their artistic formation is varied. They have united their talents in the past to exhibit together in Paris at the Grand Palais, in Monaco at the Auditorium Rainier III, at the Oxo Gallery in London and in Shanghai at Pudong Library and CEIBS.
