S P A Z I O M O R A N D I is a newly established art program created by longtime friends Stefania Morandi, founder and designer of STUDIO MORANDI, and Wanda W Dye, former founder and curator of RE gallery. This collaborative initiative will organize a series of art exhibitions and events, starting in April 2026. Public exhibitions will take place at a space located in East Dallas, offering broad access to the local community, and more intimate gatherings will be hosted at Studio Morandi in Perry Heights, creating opportunities for closer interaction and engagement. The program’s objectives and initiatives are outlined in their manifesto below:




SPAZIO MORANDI
MANIFESTO

1. TO CREATE A SPACE FOR ALL KINDS OF ART BY AND FOR ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE.

2. TO CREATE A SPACE THAT DEMOCRATIZES COLLECTING ART BY SHOWING ART THAT IS

AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO MANY VERSUS THE FEW.

3. TO CREATE A SPACE FOR WORK THAT IS NOT ALWAYS “SAFE” BUT THAT CHALLENGES

US TO ASK QUESTIONS AND TO NOT ALWAYS FIND ANSWERS.

4. TO CREATE A SPACE THAT DOESN’T TAKE ITSELF TOO SERIOUSLY, TO ADD LEVITY TO A

VERY HEAVY WORLD.

5. TO CREATE A SPACE FOR EXPERIMENTATION, MANIFESTATION AND HAVING NO DESTINATION.

6. TO CREATE A SPACE THAT IS ALWAYS WARM AND WELCOMING, LIKE SOMEONE’S

LIVING ROOM OR BACKYARD BBQ.

7. TO CREATE A SPACE THAT HAS A PRESENCE IN AND GIVES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.

8. TO CREATE A SPACE THAT HELPS AND SUPPORTS EACH OTHER IN THE ART COMMUNITY.

AS THE SAYING GOES, “COMPETITION IS THE THIEF OF JOY.”

9. TO CREATE A SPACE THAT IS MODEST AND AUTHENTIC AND DETERS AFFECTATION AND

SELF CONSCIOUSNESS.

10. TO CREATE A SPACE THAT YOU WILL NEVER WANT TO LEAVE
