Guided Tours of the Venice Contemporary Art Scene

 Say
the words "Venice" and "art" together, and most people will think you're talking
about Titian, Tintoretto, Tiepolo, and other illustrious painters from centuries
past. But Venice isn't just a mecca for worshippers of long-dead masters: The
city's Biennale has exhibited the work of modern artists since 1895, the Peggy
Guggenheim Collection is world-famous, and there are plenty of other museums,
galleries, and artists' studios to please visitors who enjoy contemporary art.
(Modern architecture also has a place in today's Venice; the city is home to
IAUAV, a leading Italian university of architecture and design.)
 If
contemporary art and architecture are on your sightseeing list in Venice,
Cristina Gregorin--a
licensed guide, Ph.D., and book author--is ready to help you make the most of
your visit. Cristina organizes visits to museums, galleries, and artists'
ateliers (including glassmakers' studios), along with a "Contemporary
Architecture on Giudecca Island" itinerary of places where modern architects
have found new uses for 19th and early 20th Century industrial buildings.
Cristina Gregorin can also take you on private tours of Venice
that don't involve contemporary art (see her "What
I offer" page).
