Red Regatta, an independent public art project created by artist Melissa McGill that will activate Venice’s lagoon and canals with large-scale regattas of traditional vela al terzo sailboats hoisted with hand-painted red sails, will be presented on March 28 at the United Nations on the occasion of the High Level meeting on the protection of the global climate.

The Italian Permanent Mission to the United Nations is sponsoring the presentation in collaboration with Magazzino for Italian Art. A museum located in Cold Spring, New York, devoted to Postwar and Contemporary Italian art, Magazzino takes the name from the word meaning warehouse in Italian. It was co-founded by Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu.
