Italian and international galleries at the Jean Nouvel Pavilion
ArteGenova is the market exhibition of modern and contemporary art that transforms the Blue Pavilion, designed by Atelier Jean Nouvel, in the Genoa Old Port into a grand art showcase each year. The venue, with its large windows overlooking the sea, is an island in the heart of the port thanks to Renzo Piano's waterfront intervention.
The fair brings together 150 exhibitors, equally divided between important Italian and international galleries and the section dedicated to contemporary art, the Contemporary Art Talent Show (C.A.T.S.), which provides space for emerging talents. On display are works ranging from 20th-century masters to the most current artistic research.
ArteGenova is a reference point for the art market in Liguria and the North-West, attracting thousands of visitors. The fair combines commercial and cultural dimensions, offering a broad and up-to-date overview of modern and contemporary art trends.
With ArteGenova, Genoa confirms its cultural vocation and its role in the national artistic landscape. For enthusiasts, collectors, and the simply curious, the fair is an opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of art in a charming architectural setting, against the backdrop of the sea.
From February 12 to 15, 2026, the Blue Pavilion, designed by Atelier Jean Nouvel, in the Genoa Old Port, hosts the 20th edition of ArteGenova. The market exhibition brings together 150 exhibitors, equally divided between important Italian and international galleries and the Contemporary Art Talent Show (C.A.T.S.) section dedicated to emerging talents.
