In the wake of the damage caused by Venice’s recent high tides, Michelangelo Foundation has pledged its support to Venetian Heritage. The organisation has launched a support Venice campaign to raise funds that will go towards the restoration of Venice’s artistic heritage.
The Pont de la Machine is now home to the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie and the Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship. Renamed "Arcades des Arts", this historical building in downtown Geneva thus becomes a veritable hub of watchmaking and craft culture.
Developed in collaboration with Michelangelo Foundation's international network, the first Summer School Programme invited 50 young students and recent graduates in craftsmanship and design to broaden their horizons by exploring new skills beyond their specialised field.

The Michelangelo Foundation is pleased to bring its exhibition Doppia Firma 2019 to Révélations, the international fine craftsmanship biennial staged by Ateliers d’Art de France, a valued member of the foundation’s network.
Published on the occasion of Homo Faber, the first major exhibition dedicated to European craftsmanship, the volume Art Work, translated into English from the Italian In Opera, celebrates the master artisans working in contemporary art restoration.
Doppia Firma 2019 brings together innovative designers and master artisans from around Europe to produce a unique collection of 19 works and small-scale series. Each object is the result of a creative exchange between a designer/artist and an artisan/ manufacturer – where project culture and expertise are cross-fertilised in an authentic expression of regional excellence.
