1. VISION

1.1. Art belongs to all. It has no barriers and can never be monopolized.

1.2. Art is communication: artist with artist, media with media, expression with expression, event with event. No fear nor competition can stop art. We artists can only choose to be in or out the gane; we cannot change it. 
If we choose to participate in a professional and congenial manner, together we can advance the worldwide understanding and proliferation of expression and of any Art.

1.3. Art and Creativity are a bridge between the peoples of the world. They are a precious heritage of Humanity and can be decisive in the recognition of reciprocity and the beauty of diversity.

Therefore...

1.4. it is our main task to promotes meeting, cooperation, and creative sharing among artists and their viewers; but, above all, we want to promote cooperation and support among artists, societies, art material manufacturers, audience and event organizers.

1.5. Contemporary art and Art are the strategic lever, in 5 areas of action, that in a more widespread and consolidated way intend to:
1. Aggregate contemporary arts and artists by applying the emotional methodologies of relational ar
2. Consolidate the container of excellence, spaces, qualitative technical referents of the places where ore events are based
3. Enhance international, national, local artists and curators
4. Deepen the synergy with many twinned national and international exhibitions, in the name of reciprocity, visibility and for the recognition of the path traced
5. Plan a proposal of events, which starting from one place will directly and indirectly reach the surrounding territories and therefore the international ones.

The great challenge that all the actors of this project have taken up together, in 90 countries of the world, is to work with determination in the footsteps of the objectives of Agenda 2030: a global promise for a sustainable future and a united world.
A commitment reaffirmed during the last international conference meeting on April 24/28, 2025.
