TRIESTE, Italy – illycaffè announced its continued support as main sponsor of the Biennale Arte 2024 “Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere”, scheduled to open its doors to the public on April 20th in Venice.
This collaboration, initiated in 2003, stems from the shared commitment to exploring and promoting beauty through the medium of contemporary art in conjunction with one of the world’s most esteemed art events.
In this edition, the partnership takes on enriched dimensions with the introduction of a new illy Art Collection featuring works by emerging Latin American artists.
These artists, handpicked by the curator of Biennale Arte 2024, Adriano Pedrosa, have been selected from the pool of exhibitors, providing them with a tangible opportunity for increased visibility and artistic growth.
The iconic illy cups have once again been transformed into blank canvases, allowing the chosen artists to showcase their creativity and reinforcing the fusion of beauty and excellence that characterizes the illy brand.
Cristina Scocchia, CEO of illycaffè, expresses delight in reaffirming the collaboration with the 60th International Art Exhibition, stating, “This year’s event celebrates those who are foreign or distant, using the language of contemporary art, which has always been a catalyst for dialogue and inclusion.
These are values that illycaffè upholds throughout its entire supply chain, consistently placing individuals at the core of its operations.”
The ethical and aesthetic essence of illycaffè is encapsulated in the sustainable quality of its product. Attendees, including artists, collectors, curators, and visitors at the 60th International Art Exhibition, will have the opportunity to savor the unique illy blend at the Biennale Arte’s refreshment points and, during the inauguration days, at the gazebo situated at the entrance to the Giardini della Biennale venue.
