Artist Manss Aval will be sharing his art at the upcoming EuroExpoArt in Venice, Italy.

EuroExpoArt is a highly relevant event entirely dedicated to Art and Artists promoted by NeoArtGallery in the beautiful setting of Vernice Art Fair in Forlì (Italy). The event  is being combined with the “Gran Premio Europa” Art Contest and will take place on March 18-20, 2016.

The event takes place in a 500 square meters area, made available by Romagna Fairs, and includes the “European Grand Prix” display area, the big Neoartgallery stand and several corners dedicated to special events, with an overall participation of 106 artists, 6 of them exclusively participating in special events.

For over ten years NeoArtGallery has been creating and supporting cultural and  promotional events such as fairs, exhibitions, symposiums, festivals. Ferdan Yusufi and Giorgio Bertozzi, founders of the Italian-Turkish Association, still carry on this tradition  and in 2016 they have brought further developments to the international activity with EuroExpoArt, a great event in the Venice Art Fair in Italy.

Artist Manss Aval’s art, Conjugates, was recently displayed at the Clio Art Fair 2016 in New York, NY. The Clio Art fair is known as the  “Anti-Art Fair for Independent Artists“. Beginning on March 2-6th, 2016, independent artists from all over the world met for a weekend of artist expression and awards.

The CLIO ART FAIR is a curated fair created with the idea of discovering independent artists and showcasing the careers and achievements of already affirmed creative minds.

By specifically targeting artists without any exclusive NYC gallery representation, CLIO ART FAIR focuses attention on the kinds of contemporary art and interventions that are being created by independent artists the world over.

Clio Art Fair seeks to foster a dialogue that transcends prescribed geographies, hierarchies, and markets; and to further opportunities for greater expression of new media and ever ground-breaking content.

 Artists who are interested in participating in the Clio Art Fair 2017 can apply here. Deadline is October 31, 2016.
