The Ferrara Collective

'The Ferrara Collective' was inspired by a group of artists who met in Ferrara, Italy during the opening reception of "Magic: The Magic Paths of Art", an exhibition curated by Paola Trevisan on November 2006 at the 'Museum of the Estense Castle'.
They decided to form an international collective in order to share their ideas, opinions, projects and dreams. In the contemporary art world where business is power and the emotional and spiritual aspects of art are not valued, it is a precious experience to be able to network with people who are passionate about the visual arts, and enjoy sharing ideas, thoughts, and beliefs with fellow artists.
All of them firmly believe in the power of the group: working together, to their collective advantage, as has often happened in the past with groups of artists who have spontaneously birthed the major movements of art history.
They believe that they can create a similar situation today if they plan meetings, share their experiences, debate, discuss projects and opportunuties, and promote each other for the common good, as well as their individual benefit.
Founded on these principles, each artist, with their different personalities, talents, and sensibilities, is bringing his/her contribution to the collective.
