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 .
