Team
The VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK is an artist-run, independent, international no-budget people project.
Everybody listed below, as well as the invited artists, are dedicated art professionals who commit themselves to the realisation of this project mostly without being paid for it, and they do it passionately because they believe that it carries importance to share this art and program (free admission) with the audience in Venice despite the lack of financial fundings. This is very special, and each one reserves gratefulness for contributing with their personal time and professional knowledge, complimentary competencies and labour of love to this project made by people for the people. The motivation is linked to a common vision, and only together can we step beyond our limitations and make the seemingly impossible possible as a matter of pure Begeisterung.
