Venezia FC has inaugurated an artistic residency program, proving once again to be a step ahead of the top teams. The attention that the Venetians reserve for culture, the city and the territory is of the highest level and the new project bears witness to this. The “VFC AiR” is an international residency program for artists whose mission is to tell the relationship between football and the city, between football culture and popular culture in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The first step involves Ethan White, American photographer and former professional footballer of the MLS (New York City, DC United and Philadelphia Union the American teams in which he played). For the next nine months, Ethan will discover Venice as a resident artist and will capture moments where sport and culture overlap, creating a single photographic journey.

....film is the most rewarding way to express the timeless beauty of Venice, the tones and textures of Venice, the overall feeling of Venice. Moreover, digital photography represents modernity, speed, convenience, perfection, and Venice is none of those things. So working with film feels very appropriate and with respect to the club specifically, some of the same themes apply.
