Curator
Sandra Setti
Today I am dedicated to organizing exhibitions, curating, prospecting clients and developing projects that bring different cultures together. Globalization has brought us closer and the internet has connected different horizons. There are opportunities for those who know how to see. The possibilities are immeasurable, but we must act. I am part of that contingent of people who create, manage, administer and offer those opportunities to others. I collaborate to design, idealize, organize and promote our culture and our artists. I look for new opportunities and initiate projects where I find an echo. I always hope to offer something in return, to provide satisfaction, to connect people. Anything is possible.
