The Art Explora Festival is a traveling festival that sails the world's seas and oceans aboard its museum ship, offering innovative and free artistic and cultural experiences. From spring 2024 to autumn 2026, the festival will embark on its first tour, visiting 15 countries in the Mediterranean. To coincide with the 60th International Art Biennale, the museum ship will be anchored in Venice from April 17 to 22, at Riva Sette Martiri, just steps from the Giardiniera. Adorned with its large dock sails designed by Laure Prouvost, the museum ship resonates with "Foreigners Everywhere," the theme of this 60th Biennale, as well as with the universal message that the foundation conveys through its cultural odyssey in the Mediterranean: art transcends borders.

Laure Prouvost's Sail
Internationally renowned contemporary artist Laure Prouvost has created a work for the museum boat's quayside sails, taking us into spaces of spatial and mental freedom.
Mediterranean Carte Blanche, Day 1
On the upper deck of the boat, every day between 5pm and 7pm, the festival’s curators and a collaboration with the national pavilions of the Biennale offer concerts, performances, screenings, talks, panels... on a ‘carte blanche’ principle, echoing their unique way of understanding the major themes of the Festival throughout its itinerancy, embodying the purpose of the project through cultural cooperation on a regional scale.
