The Luck of Giving

D

uring the International Patronage Awards, The Luck of Giving seeks to be a meeting place, a platform that acts as an inspiration to society, business and institutions in a transformation of human beings, as necessary as it is irremediable, which is best expressed in the commitment to art and its inclusive dissemination.

Patrons, artists, collectors, curators, and museum directors come together during this event to share their life experiences in the field of patronage as a powerful way to connect with others, learn, and grow together.
