Awards 2023
Awarding a stand for its meticulousness or originality in setup is a necessary act by a fair. It means recognizing the gallery’s professionalism and its ability to reinvent its proposal.
Generally, the care for a stand is something that belongs to the cultural heritage of contemporary art. However, this is not always true, as many galleries identifying with the modern art sector are now aware that a well-designed, uncluttered stand is an added value, appreciated even by collectors.
The Roma Arte in Nuvola awards highlight the importance of the care and creativity involved in setting up a stand. They outline a path we intend to develop to give proper recognition to the primary stakeholders of a fair: the galleries.
