5252, Campo Santa Maria Formosa - Castello - Venice



2826, San Barnaba - Dorsoduro - Venice

Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa always operated in Venice in helping young artists to find popularity, even providing working spaces and funds. When duchess Felicita Bevilacqua La Masa died, the entire Palace facing the Grand Canal, Cà Pesaro, was left as a gift to the city with the purpose of promoting those young artists that normally are excluded in the major exhibitions. This tradition is still brought forward nowadays as Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa put at disposal of young artists spaces situated on the top floor of ancient Palazzo Carminati. Many famous artists of twentieth century as Emilio Vedova, De Pisis and Tancredi spent some of their days here improving their skill on modern art.
