The Foundation’s mission is focused on an innovative experimental Preservation-Through-Change Project, which aims to be both local and international: preserving the uniquely inventive and rich cultural traditions of Venetian history through the promotion and production of interdisciplinary contemporary art practice. The interdisciplinary nature of this production and form of presentation reflects the eclectic interests of its founders and the diverse cultural festivals and biennales the city offers. The aim is to forge a network of local and international artists to work with and to rethink and address the cultural context while developing experimental projects which make use of local realities and materials, thereby revitalizing Castello Alto’s intrinsic creativity, an area famous as having been one of the most dynamic and productive of the city. The Foundation has also set up a bar and courtyard project meeting point, offering a series of activities such as: performances, screenings, seminars, readings, concerts and the celebration of traditional festivities to actively engage both resident and visitor participation.
