Art
at Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Jesolo

Three evenings, one artist residency: an autumn told through the hands of those who know how to create.

From September to December, Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Jesolo opens its doors to a new Art programme: three Art Talks featuring outstanding local masters and a live artist residency. Painting, sculpture, tailoring and glassmaking come together in a season celebrating craftsmanship and creativity, through evening encounters, artworks displayed throughout the hotel and days spent in close contact with the artists at work.

Art Talks

Three evenings with outstanding names from the territory.

Each Art Talk is a free evening event, upon reservation, during which a distinguished guest shares insights into their art or craft in a live conversation with Simone Bais, art consultant. Three events, from September to December, exploring painting, sculpture, tailoring and glassmaking: a journey through the finest craftsmanship of our local area. Each evening concludes with an aperitif hosted by La Viarte winery.
