When Bay Area artist Tiffany Conway got an email last year suggesting she apply to the Florence Biennale, she didn’t think it was real.
Founded in 1997, the prestigious art exhibition has been a major platform for renowned artists of all sorts, while bolstering the careers of emerging creatives.
Now — after properly vetting the invitation, applying and being accepted — Conway will show her work at this year’s event in mid-October.
“It is a major opportunity,” says Conway during a recent call.
