Clio is the muse of history. When Clio sings your name while playing her harp, this means that your name has been admitted to the mental olympus of human history. I’ ve always been fascinated by this mythologic and inspiring figure.
When I conceptualized this idea, I was alone. I suddenly understood that I should create a great team to successfully carry out my vision. Because of that, the first person that I invited to join me was Clio.

CLIO ART FAIR CLIO ART FAIR is a curated fair born with the challenge to launch independent artists and showcase the careers and achievements of already affirmed creative minds. By specifically targeting artists without any exclusive NYC gallery representation, CLIO ART FAIR focuses attention on the kinds of contemporary art and interventions that are being created by independent artists the world over.
Without the constraints and usual concerns of the art business, these artists have been freed up to use different materials and media and to deviate from accepted art practice definitions. The resulting work being exhibited seeks to foster a dialogue that transcends prescribed geographies, hierarchies, and markets; and to further opportunities for greater expression of new media and ever ground-breaking content. CLIO ART FAIR is managed by Hydra Art Project Inc.
HYDRA ART PROJECT Based in NYC, HYDRA Art Project is an art management company whose mission is to support contemporary artists and journalists, to organize art and media events and to manage art-related projects.
HYDRA Art Project operates though multiple nomadic art initiatives. Our goal is to foster reflective critical thinking, dialogues across territories and identities, and prolific creative practices nurturing and promoting innovation in the rapidly-shifting geographies of the 21st century.
