About
Overview
La Storta is a long-running creative residency located in an ancient Renaissance bottega in the heart of Venice's historic Jewish Ghetto. The space combines a cozy live-in studio with a street-level gallery featuring a large vitrine window opening onto a lively campo, offering both quiet retreat and public visibility. The gallery welcomes exhibitions, open-studio events, and process-based displays with light curatorial support available. Artists are granted full flexibility to shape their presentations and working hours.
