This year The Venice Glass Week HUB and The Venice Glass Week HUB Under35 will return to Palazzo Loredan, home of the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti in Campo Santo Stefano, Venice. Artists and designers aged 36 and above can apply to exhibit in the HUB on the first floor, and those aged 18 to 35 can apply to exhibit in the HUB Under35 on the ground floor. Exhibitors within the HUB Under35 will have the opportunity to be considered as candidates for the Autonoma Residency Prize, which will enable the winner to undertake a two-month artistic residency at Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle, USA in 2024.
All applications will be reviewed and selected by a Curatorial Committee of experts in the glass sector at an international level. Chaired by the Venetian glass historian Rosa Barovier Mentasti, other Committee members include Rainald Franz, Susanne Jøker Johnsen, Jean Blanchaert and Alma Zevi.
