Area Progetto

Area Progetto is an event that involves young artists from the local area, inviting them to plan and exhibit a work designed especially for the large entrance and stariway space of the Galleria Civica di Modena. The project, promoted by the Galleria Civica di Modena by the Ufficio Giovani d'Arte of Modena City Council, is curated by Ornella Corradini, Silvia Ferrari and Serena Goldoni. From 2009 onwards, thanks to a new agreement with the Association G.A.I. (Giovani Artisti Italiani), the initiative will be opened up to artists nationwide. Further details on the work of each of the artists featured are given in Italian, and there will soon also be an English version available. In 2010 at its third edition, the initiative this time changes formula, taking the creativity of young local artists into spaces external to the Galleria Civica, through the creation of projects designed especially for key sites around the town centre, such as the marketplace in via Albinelli or the public gardens.
