Art Night returns to Venice with a citywide celebration of art, culture and public space. For one evening, museums, foundations, galleries and cultural institutions open their doors for a programme of special events, performances, guided tours, concerts and exhibitions. Originally created by Ca' Foscari University, Art Night has grown into one of Venice's most popular cultural initiatives, bringing together residents and visitors through a shared experience of discovery. The event creates new connections between historic landmarks and contemporary creativity, encouraging audiences to explore the city through unusual routes and unexpected encounters. From museums and exhibition spaces to lesser-known venues, Art Night offers a unique opportunity to experience Venice after dark and engage with its rich artistic and cultural heritage.
