Art4Women

In 2022, a bold and captivating idea began to take shape in the minds of a visionary team composed of Clara Bernasco, Elisabetta Viganò, and Riccardo Roggeri: to develop a platform capable of supporting and celebrating women artists and their creations, while promoting inclusivity and gender diversity through a broad, collaborative artistic lens. The transition from concept to reality was made possible thanks to the partnership with the benefit corporation RIC3D. Together, in March 2023, they officially launched the project A4W – Art For Women. December 2023 marked a key milestone: the launch of the first online Proof-of-Concept (POC). This important step made it possible to test the platform by welcoming the first volunteer artists, who contributed their works and offered valuable feedback to refine the project. In April 2024, the value and potential of A4W – Art For Women was formally recognized by the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy (MIMIT), through the “Fondo Impresa Femminile” funding program. The MIMIT grant awarded to the original founding team marked the official transformation of the project into an independent entity: Art4Women became a company in its own right, ready to expand its presence across the national and international art scene, with the development of its website and a Progressive Web App (PWA).
