Culture Lab LIC has announced a new international gallery exhibition featuring Italian art, offering Long Island City residents a chance to explore emerging talents and experience art’s power as a unifying force. “Art Exchange: A Bridge Between Italy & America” will run from Thursday, March 6, until Easter Sunday, April 20, at Culture Lab, located at 5-25 46th Ave.

The gallery is sponsored by the Carlo Rambaldi Foundation, an organization founded in 2014 to pay tribute to the work of the acclaimed Italian special effects and make-up artist who died in 2012. The foundation, which is celebrating what would have been Rambaldi’s 100th birthday in 2025, has sponsored a “one-of-a-kind” event dedicated to increasing the visibility of Italian art and creating an artistic dialogue that embraces culture, styles and visions.
