The first, is to provide access to Palazzo Butera with its museum, cultural events and work spaces. The second is to allow engagement with the people who have achieved the artistic and architectural restoration of the historic Palazzo. The third is to play a part in the regeneration of the beautiful and historic region of Sicily through incubating educational programmes and projects.<br \/>\nBy supporting local endeavours and enabling multiple international projects, we believe that the synergy of an encounter between these two will bring equal benefits to both local community and overseas participants.<br \/>\nIn short, art, culture and history are the keys to understanding the past, informing the present and inspiring the future.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var__column im-text-img-var__column-media\">\n\t\t\t\t<picture>\n\t\t\t\t\t<source\n\t\t\t\t\t\ttype=\"image\/webp\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/storage1394.cdn-immedia.net\/wp-content\/themes\/palazzobutera.it\/assets\/img\/spacer\/spacer.png\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/storage1394.cdn-immedia.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/foto-brochure-palazzo-butera-27-scaled.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/storage1394.cdn-immedia.net\/wp-content\/themes\/palazzobutera.it\/assets\/img\/spacer\/spacer.png\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/storage1394.cdn-immedia.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/foto-brochure-palazzo-butera-27-scaled.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"About\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"800\" height=\"800\" class=\"cover lazyload\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"cms-content\">\n\n\t<\/div>\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var bg-white \">\n\t\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var__container fluid-container flex padding-bottom flex-row-reverse flex-column-reverse-mt\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var__column im-text-img-var__column-text fade \">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var__text-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"im-text-img-var__over-head over-head cm-margin\">Foundation<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"im-text-img-var__title h2\">Long Term Aspirations<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var__paragraphs\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We are at the start of a journey and are enthusiastic and open as to future possibilities.

Embedded in art and cultures\u2019 DNA are the characteristics of creativity and innovation.<br \/>\nAt root is the understanding that the greatest moments of thought and innovation come at times of great openness to other cultures; to other ways of seeing, thinking or doing. History is littered with such examples and might include the constant exchanges and confrontations along trade routes, or Western Europe\u2019s engagement with Ancient Greece and Rome that birthed the Renaissance, or even Europe\u2019s discovery of the New World resulting in new orientations and understanding that led to the Enlightenment and the Scientific Method .<br \/>\nToday we are ever more siloed into our areas of specialisation. This is true of academia, of business, of politics. This has happened over centuries for understandable reasons, but taken to extremes it diminishes innovation and creativity. Again, the greatest moments of flourishing in our history have been when ideas cross fertilise in a rich exchange.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"im-text-img-var__column im-text-img-var__column-media\">\n\t\t\t\t<picture>\n\t\t\t\t\t<source\n\t\t\t\t\t\ttype=\"image\/webp\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/storage1394.cdn-immedia.net\/wp-content\/themes\/palazzobutera.it\/assets\/img\/spacer\/spacer.png\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/storage1394.cdn-immedia.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/foto-brochure-palazzo-butera-09.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/storage1394.cdn-immedia.net\/wp-content\/themes\/palazzobutera.it\/assets\/img\/spacer\/spacer.png\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/storage1394.cdn-immedia.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/foto-brochure-palazzo-butera-09.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Our Focus\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"800\" height=\"800\" class=\"cover lazyload\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"cms-content\">\n\n\t<\/div>\t<div class=\"custom-quote bg-secondary padding \">\n\t\t<div class=\"custom-quote__container fade medium-container \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"custom-quote__wrapper text-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"custom-quote__quote quote\">\u201cTo develop a complete mind: study the science of art; study the art of science.
