About Artinrete

Artinrete is the contemporary art festival that for three days transforms Verona into a widespread cultural map. Promoted by ArtiVer, the network supported by the Municipality, it brings museums, galleries, theaters, and city spaces into dialogue with exhibitions, performances, meetings, workshops, guided tours, and concerts. From the Old City to Veronetta and the ZAI area, the festival opens the doors of historic and contemporary venues, inviting the public to experience art as an open laboratory.

Contemporary art that crosses the city

Artinrete is the contemporary art festival of Verona born from the idea of networking: museums, galleries, theaters, and independent spaces coordinate to offer, in a few days, a widespread program that crosses the entire city. Promoted by ArtiVer, the network supported by the Municipality of Verona, the festival transforms the historic center and neighborhoods into a large cultural map.

Exhibitions, performances, and meetings

The program intertwines exhibitions, audiovisual and musical performances, meetings with artists, talks, screenings, workshops, guided tours, and evening concerts. A structured offering that brings historical city spaces into dialogue with contemporary languages, valuing both major institutions and more experimental realities.

Widespread venues across the Old City, Veronetta, and ZAI

The festival venues are distributed between the Old City, the university district of Veronetta, and the ZAI area. Among the venues involved are Palazzo Forti and the Achille Forti Gallery of Modern Art, the Scavi Scaligeri International Center of Photography, Palazzo Maffei, the Ristori Theater, and private galleries in the city. A journey that invites you to rediscover Verona, in the province of Verona (Veneto Region), through the lens of contemporary art.

The 2026 edition of Artinrete takes place from May 1st to 3rd, transforming Verona into a widespread network of contemporary art across the Old City, Veronetta, and ZAI, featuring exhibitions, performances, workshops, and concerts.
