Dear Artist,
We would like to invite you to exhibit your artwork in the next edition of the Florence Biennale.
After reviewing your artwork present in internet, the Internal Committee has expressed favourable opinion for your participation. The sixth edition of the Biennale will be held from 1 to 9 December 2007.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude and Richard Anuskiewicz who were awarded with the maximum recognition, the Lorenzo il Magnifico award for the career, were protagonists of unforgettable days, with conferences that attracted an impressive number of enthusiasts, artists and visitors. Each day of the fifth edition was studded with collateral events and conferences, such as that of Gregorio Luke, Director of the MOLAA at Long Beach, of Rosa Tejada from the Metropolitan Museum, New York, of that given by R.B. Bhaskaran, President of the Lalit Kala, National Academy of Art, India, among others that can be seen in our website www.florencebiennale.org
The exhibition doesn't receive any public neither private financial assistance. The exhibition is entirely funded by artists, that can search for sponsors independently in their own country. To those possible sponsors indicated by artists, Arte Studio will provide to send a formal request. Sponsors will be published both in the general catalogue and the website, as you can see by visiting the sponsor's page present in our website, that helped some artists in the past biennales.
You will find all the necessary information in the participation documents that we will send you, to the address you will send us to the following e-mail biennalefi@artestudio.net

In August 1991, Sir Tim Berners-Lee created the first website. In June 1992, Art Addiction launched the first ever online art gallery.By utilizing the Internet as a viewing space and virtual environment, since 1992 Art Addiction Medial Museum has become the definitive ‘Art-Creator to Art-Consumer’ arena. Art Addiction is pleased to present the Medial 1st Art Biennial 2005 with anticipated quality art of contemporary artists.
