Founded by Dries Van Noten and Patrick Vangheluwe and housed in the historic Palazzo Pisani Moretta, overlooking the Grand Canal, the Dries Van Noten Foundation celebrates craftsmanship as an essential expression of cultural identity. Here, ideas take shape through materials, gestures, and the patient passage of time, as mind and hands come together in the creative act.

The Foundation inhabits a space of transition, carrying traditions forward while continuously reinventing them. Inaugurated in April 2026, it brings together established voices and emerging talents across a wide range of fields, including art, design, fashion, architecture, gastronomy, and beyond.

By fostering an ongoing dialogue between disciplines, the Foundation encourages new perspectives, builds bridges between history and the present, and connects creativity rooted in the local context with global visions.
