Giudecca 795 Art Gallery was established in 2007; its mission has been and remains the search and presentation of new talents. Photography, painting, design and -- more recently -- street art and mosaics are the different modes of expression being explored. 

We are focusing both on the artists with whom the gallery already collaborates and on talent-scouting competitions such as the "One Day in Venezia Photo Contest" for aspiring photographers. This year's exhibit programme has been revolutioned because of the lockdown and the Covid-19 restrictions; at the moment we are open for our clients by appointment only but we are pleased to launch a series of virtual art exhibits in honour of the 16th Giornata del Contemporaneo (a day dedicated to contemporary art in Italy, this year on December 5th).



Besides hosting ongoing projects with our artists, the use of our exhibiting space allows also to be the first gallery for street art in Venice, proud to present Inside-Outers: 4 street artists in Venice: at the beginning of the 58th Art Biennale, besides spreading drops of lively art and beauty in the most abandoned corners of Venice, four artists have produced original pieces at our gallery, and this puts their work under a very special light. If you want to get the difference between street art and vandalism, the meaning of "art can swim", or if you wish to start or deepen your knowledge and feeling about today's young contemporary art, and think on your personal idea of Venice, come and meet us at Giudecca795.

We confirm the collaboration with the One Day in Venezia photo contest (which awards a winner each month and a yearly Grand Prize Winner). In 2020 the contest has been suspended during the lockdown, and it is rebooting. Giudecca 795 offers part of its space to the contest, hosts the winner's solo show, the collective exhibition of the 12 finalists and the special prizes, and a digital display showing all the submitted photos. Obviously the restrictions and issues we had to face as a gallery during the pandemic time have reflected on the photocontest activity. Nevertheless, we are happy to launch the virtual group show of the 2019 edition, (link to be activated on December 5th, on the occasion of the Giornata del Contemporaneo #giornatacontemporaneo ) - and we are working at a similar show for the 2020 contest winners. The Grand Winner of the 2020 edition will be announced in January 2021.
The contest gives visibility to all the participants, in a kaleidoscope of very special images of Venice as seen through the eyes of its most attentive visitors. As soon as possible, we will schedule the solo show of 2019's contest Grand Winner, Gabriel Baiguini from Switzerland, and the finalists' group show at our venue, depending on the general situation in 2021.

Also in the previous editions we have found interesting new talents, whom we are encouraging. To mention some: the Grand Winner 2017 Tatiana Lazareva (Russia) has revealed her style in the solo show hosted by the gallery, and is now listed among our artists :) . Annik Susemihl has been intensifying her activity as a photographer and has published a Venice Carnival calendar of her own with a German publisher. (For sure, also because more experienced, we are going to hear great news from Czech amateur photographer Jaroslav Mares, whom we haven't had the pleasure to meet in Venice yet). Way to go!
