The funding association AMICI DEL CANTIERE offers all lovers of culture, art and music the opportunity to work together in a focused way for the future of the Cantiere Internazionale d’Arte. Our members share the experience of supportive, friendly cooperation between professional artists, young talents and amateurs and the determination to make the greatest personal commitment.


Despite state funding from the Italian Ministry of Culture and the German Foreign Office, the “International Art Workshop”, as a unique, non-commercial cultural initiative, is heavily dependent on the generous support of sponsors and private donors.

More than ever, there is a need for sensitive and influential personalities who understand and support Henze’s concept of “lived utopia” as a moral mandate.
