The show

Since 9 September 2023, the Glass Museum has been hosting in the Sala delle Perle Veneziane the works that have passed the first phase of evaluation of the second edition of the International Competition for the creation of pearls "Your pearl for Venice", organized by the Committee for the Safeguarding of 'Art of Venetian Glass Beads with the collaboration of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers and L'Association des Perliers D'Art de France. At the end of the Venice Glass Week the winning works will be announced according to the popular jury and a technical jury. The award ceremony for the winning works of the competition will be held on the morning of Sunday 17 September at the Glass Museum.


Venice has a long and articulated history in the development of the Art of Glass Beads, registered in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage since December 2020. This competition intends to enhance glass beads made with traditional Venetian techniques or inspired by Venetian techniques and styles. Acceptable genres include lampwork beads, beads created from drilled rods, and blown beads. Some examples of traditional Venetian techniques see the use of murrine, the use of aventurine glass, decoration with the "vette", chevron pearls, lampblown pearls, etc. The competition promotes the sharing of traditional knowledge and awareness of how much they can be a source of inspiration for contemporary art, on an international platform.
