Alina Art Foundation originated from the survival impulse after the tragic loss of President Sanda Sudor's daughter Alina in a tragic accident.

''Alina was not only her daughter, but the source of inspiration to realize dreams and projects, to innovate and improve. No one can invent a new language to describe the pain of overcoming the death of a child; to survive, one must accept suffering and turn absence into a traveling companion, filling the void with the power of the mind.''

Founded in 2020 in The Hague, Alina Art Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting artists and artistic and cultural projects in diverse contexts and through various mediums. The Foundation engages in the creation of flexible and temporary events such as exhibitions, art prizes, workshops and conferences, aiming to engage a broad audience in contemporary artistic language and to promote awareness of improving the human condition through art.

The exhibitions organized by the Alina Art Foundation are always accessible free of charge, as is participation in competitions and other events dedicated to supporting artists. So far, the Foundation's activities are financed exclusively by President Sanda Sudor and her founding members, without receiving any public or institutional support or contributions.

The foundation's registered office is located in The Hague in the Netherlands, with another office in Italy in Aosta, where the foundation is a partner in the artistic management of the Inarttendu Art Gallery. The foundation's primary mission is to support artists who use art as a tool to explore the deep nuances of society and human values, challenging conformity and stimulating meaningful reflection and debate.

This objective is realized through two main projects that identify the Foundation's activities: ArteAlta - on the peaks of Europe, and the Alina Art Award, a prestigious international annual prize that will be awarded starting in 2024 to an artist who stands out in the field of experimental art and research. Through these programs, we aim to create opportunities where creative minds can collaborate in interdisciplinary interactions, generating new perspectives and sources of inspiration for the contemporary art scene.

Our primary objective is to spread the transformative power of art through exhibitions, events, and immersive experiences that encourage the public to engage with art on a deeply personal level. Through these activities, we aim to stimulate meaningful dialogues and reactions, inviting visitors to reflect on crucial issues such as justice, road homicide, and responsibility towards the lives of others.

Vision

Our vision is of a world where art is not merely an aesthetic construct but a catalytic force that drives humanity to overcome limits and preconceptions. We firmly believe that through art, we can explore the invisible, reflect on our values, and look beyond the boundaries of our daily reality. This process of exploration, sharing, and connection, fueled by human creativity, is the beating heart of our mission.

Through our initiatives, we aim to:

• Promote awareness and understanding of urgent social issues.
• Provide a platform for emerging and established artists, fostering the exchange of ideas and perspectives.
• Inspire the public to develop a deeper and more meaningful relationship with art and the issues it addresses.

We are convinced that art has the power to change the world, and our mission is to make this transformation a tangible reality for everyone.
