ARTIVISM, now in its third edition, is firmly committed to establishing a lasting presence during the Venice Art Biennale.

In 2022, during our second edition at SPAZIO SAN VIDAL, we were elated to join forces with the Saturnia Film Festival, leading to the creation of an art movie section. Our initiatives extended further as we curated exhibitions within the Forteza Orsini in Sorano, GR, and showcased international artists at the Grosseto Art Museum. This quartet of events reverberated widely, amassing 130 press mentions and articles, igniting significant media attention.

​

Our primary thrust centers on fostering sustainable art practices. We achieve this through partnerships with masters of traditional craftsmanship, exploration of socio-ecological themes, and the pursuit of eco-responsible exhibition solutions.

​

Guided by a rigorous curatorial vision, we are committed to juxtaposing emerging talents with established artists. Our penchant for collaborative group projects focusing on pertinent subjects is complemented by a robust presence of video art in our programming.

​

We hold a deep conviction in the transformative power of art, believing it can illuminate fresh perspectives and catalyze new ways of living. In this vein, we endeavor to organize public art performances within the parameters set by the city hall's validation process.

​

Moreover, our horizon is set on cultivating enduring alliances with art patrons and sponsors. This objective finds expression in the form of the ARTIVIST LION AWARDS, an initiative intended to solidify a lasting legacy in conjunction with our esteemed sponsors.

​

ARTIVISM aspires to be a diverse collective, linking artists, collectors, writers, philosophers, creators, scientists, galleries, and public spaces across the globe. Together, we share insights and creations that address pressing concerns such as climate change, environmental sustainability, social justice, and contemporary societal discourse. As of now, ARTIVISM finds its home within the Shim Art Network.

- The Shim Art Network operates as an open-source platform founded upon a non-hierarchical structure. Members are encouraged to propose and develop initiatives, finding support and collaboration within the community. It embodies an entrepreneurial laboratory, self-funded in its essence yet poised to engage with sponsors and patrons in harmony with our shared philosophy.

​

ARTIVISM stands as the pioneering art collective forged by and for artists of all ages and nationalities. Our collective mission is to re-envision the art realm as a dynamic, interactive, and user-generated ecosystem, reshaping how we interpret one another within the global cultural landscape. We hold in high esteem the processes, dedication, and distinct aesthetics of every artist and designer, embracing their intimate poetics.

​

Dedicated to uniting artists who embrace collective action, scientific inquiry, and dedicated work, Artivism seeks to conserve, educate, share knowledge, forge communities, and shine a spotlight on truths. We're an archipelago of resolute and interconnected creators who converge and diverge on subjects, united by the aspiration to ensure that these global artistic voices are rendered anything but invisible.
