3 days in September

Art, design, antiques, crafts around San Samuele

3 days in September An event promoted by the businesses and visitor accommodations of the San Samuele area, Venice in partnership with Palazzo Grassi and Istituto Veneto di Scienze Lettere ed Arti.
The San Samuele neighborhood is increasingly becoming the “island” of art in Venice, offering the public a distinct “catalogue” of art galleries, antique shops, quality design and crafts boutiques, as well as two of the city’s leading cultural institutions.

Backed by local businesses and visitor accommodations and coinciding with the openings of new exhibitions at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection (September 4, Adolf Gottlieb. a Retrospective) and Palazzo Fortuny, the Architecture Biennial and the Lido Film Festival, the first-time event “3 Days in September” schedules special projects up to 11 PM.
Sponsored by Palazzo Grassi, with free admission to see works such as Memorial to the Sacred Wind, a 1969 monumental kinetic work by Jean Tinguely, along with Dancefloor by the young artist Piotr Uklanski (ground floor atrium), and the Istituto Veneto di Scienze Lettere ed Arti (special evening opening of the exhibitions Stanley Kubrick photographer and From Object to City – a show created in partnership with the Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs – (at Palazzo Franchetti and Palazzo Loredan), the concept is to draw the map of a city tour off the beaten tourist track.
