Art Venice collective exhibition at Albergue SCM

A new exhibition at the Albergue SCM titled “Travel Notes • Venice – Collective Exhibition on the Subject of Macau’s Participation in the Venice Art Biennale 2015” is set to open on  July 15.
The exhibition is the result of a sponsorship program launched by Albergue SCM, which has allowed 11 local young artists to visit the Venice Biennale and to attend the opening of the local exhibition. Surrounded by Venice’s appealing scenery, they produced several impromptu artworks with paintbrushes and lenses, and these will now be showcased.
Members of the Macau Museum of Art and the Committee of Cultural Industries who attended the opening of the local exhibition “Path and Adventure – Works by Mio Pang Fei” were also invited to display the artworks they created in Venice. The show will display various types of works, including installations, watercolors and photography.
The exhibition will be held between July 15 and 31 in the A2 Gallery of the Albergue SCM, and admission is free.
