In 2019, on the initiative of the Mayor of Venice Luigi Brugnaro, Artefici del nostro tempo (Creators of our time) was founded during the 58th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. This is a competition for young emerging artists between the ages of 18 and 35, born, resident, studying or working in Italy.

The objectives of the competition are to make known the contemporary artistic trends of the new generations and give young artists the opportunity to represent the theme of each edition of the Biennale in their different creative expressions. At the same time, the initiative seeks to promote the works of young emerging creatives in the individual fields covered by the competition rules, offering them opportunities to develop and promote their work and opening the city’s highly prestigious exhibition venues to them for the occasion.

The sixth edition of Artefici del nostro tempo invited artists to respond to the theme Intelligens. Naturale. Artificiale. Collettiva, the title of the 2025 Architecture Biennale. This year, the artistic categories are organized into five sections: Street Art (graffiti, graphic design and communication in public spaces, urban furniture design); Glass (glass artworks); Image (photography and video in all techniques and materials); Artwork (painting and sculpture in all techniques and materials); Narrative (illustration, visual poetry in all techniques and materials that combine text and images).

The project Artefici del nostro tempo is spread across different places in the city. The works judged to be the best will be exhibited, from 10 May to 23 November, in the Venice Pavilion at the Giardini della Biennale. From 12 June to 31 December in Pavilion 29 at Forte Marghera there will be a collective exhibition of the other creatives selected for each category: among them, the creators of Street Art will have one wall each for their work.

From 1 December to the year’s end, works by the winners will move from the Venice Pavilion to the group show at Forte Marghera, and finally enter the collections of the Municipality of Venice at Ca’ Pesaro – Galleria Internazionale d’Arte Moderna.
