Dino Zandonella Neca, President of the Milan International Glass Fair, said, "Italian Glass Week will be the largest event in Italy, and in 2022 will be held Glass Week events: two weeks of events designed for a variety of audiences.
Culture and technology will be the keywords throughout the festival: according to the characteristics of the event, making it unique, not as two separate dimensions, inseparable and mutually influencing development.
With Italian Glass Week, we intend to re-position the Italian glass supply chain on an international level, emphasizing how unique and original the Italian proposal is.
It is only in Italy that glass directly exploits the origins of the creation and development of a unique history and culture; culture and history never stop, in a constant change, bringing the glass to us through centuries of tradition. "
From March 11, 2022, any candidate wishing to propose an event or project in the field of glass can apply to participate in the festival. Applications for Venice Week will be open until May 3, 2022, and applications for Milan Week will be open until May 30, 2022.
Contributions from companies, associations, sponsors, and partners who would like to propose their initiatives to be included in the Italian Glass Week will be the basis of the festival program, already included in the program schedule.
Designed for the 2022 United Nations International Year of Glass, the event will take place in Milan and Venice, with not only guided tours, cultural seminars, symposia, etc., but also exhibitions, workshops, art for children and families Installations, performances, activities, etc., for two weeks. Milan Week will run from September 10th to 18th and will focus on industrial glass and design, while Venice Week will run from September 17th to 25th, 2022, and will focus on art glass.
The Organizing Committee of Venice Glass Week said, "We are particularly pleased with this new project, which helps to provide a huge impetus for the art glass industry this year and in the future. With five years of experience, Venice Glass Week provides the foundation for the presentation of large-scale creations. Paved the way, thanks to all the great workers who have always believed in this project.
Murano is home to international art glass. Unfortunately, it took a hit during these difficult economic times, but it has the potential to be reborn and more internationally known. Therefore, the cooperation with Italian Glass Week and Milan Glass Week is strategic, especially this year, which has been designated as the International Year of Glass by the United Nations. It's a great movie, and most importantly, an important synergy that we hope will last a long time. "
