Dentro il Blu

**"INSIDE THE BLUE"**
I Edition
July 1 – 5, 2026

**STUDIO 5 CREATIVE PROJECT – ART GALLERY**
Lago Patria – Naples
From July 1 to 5, 2026, the Gallery of STUDIO 5 CREATIVE PROJECT, the headquarters of the Cultural Association, will host the first edition of the International Biennale of Contemporary Art "Inside the Blue," a large collective exhibition that brings together over eighty artists from various expressive backgrounds, invited to engage with one of the most fascinating and symbolic colors in the history of art.

Curated by Doriana Vriale, the Biennale is born as an exhibition project entirely dedicated to blue, a color that permeates painting, sculpture, photography, video, installations, and new media, transforming into a universal language capable of evoking infinity, memory, spirituality, introspection, and innovation.

Inside the Blue is not just an exhibition, but an immersive experience and a place for critical dialogue. The exhibition path unfolds across the four levels of the STUDIO 5 CREATIVE PROJECT Gallery, located in a villa overlooking Lago Patria, and culminates in the evocative panoramic terrace, offering visitors a journey that puts different poetics, languages, and sensibilities into dialogue.

A distinctive element of the event is the awarding of the Critics' Prizes, conferred by three esteemed art historians and critics:
Mino Iorio
Valeriano Venneri
Maurizio Vitiello

The presence of three independent critical perspectives makes the Biennale an authentic laboratory for evaluation, where the confrontation among different sensibilities becomes an opportunity for reflection on the value of contemporary artistic research. Sometimes the various perspectives converge into a shared judgment: it is at that moment that blue symbolically becomes a common truth.

The event represents an important opportunity for meeting between artists, critics, collectors, and the public, enhancing cultural dialogue through a chromatic theme that continues to inspire contemporary research in its multiple declensions.

The works will be on display from July 1 to 5, 2026, open to the public daily from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

The Biennale will conclude with the Finissage and Award Ceremony, scheduled for Sunday, July 5, 2026, at 6:30 PM.
