7th EDITION 2022
In Ravenna from Oct 8 to Nov 27 will take place the 7th edition of the Biennial of Contemporary Mosaico that makes up for the 2021 edition cancelled due to Covid.
The entire city will be involved in a rich program of events welcoming artists from all over the world.
Monuments, museums, and private studios will become galleries where mosaic in all its forms can be discovered.
MAR – Art Museum of Ravenna
The MAR will host the exhibition “Prodigy Kid” by Francesco Cavaliere and Leonardo Pivi.
In addition, the AIMC (International Association of Contemporary Mosaicists), on October 10-11 is organizing the 17th International Congress entitled “Mosaic: a Sacred Art between Cultures and Technologies“.
The congress returns to Ravenna after 22 years. It is expanded for the occasion with a promising exhibition event.
Palazzo Rasponi delle Teste
In Palazzo Rasponi dalle Teste there will be the usual exhibition of mosaics selected as part of “Opere dal Mondo“, the international works from the world competition.
In addition to these events, many others are planned, involving public and private entities such as the National Museum of Ravenna, the Archiepiscopal Curia with its important UNESCO monuments, the Classense Library Institution, the Academy of Fine Arts, the Higher Institute of Musical Studies “G. Verdi,” the Faculty of Conservation of Cultural Heritage of the University of Bologna, the Liceo Artistico, the RavennAntica Foundation, the Legislative Assembly of the Emilia-Romagna Region, the Diocesan Museum and the Molinella Gallery in Faenza, as well as numerous cultural associations, art galleries, workshops and mosaic studios.
