About ArtisticaMente

ArtisticaMente is the fair dedicated to excellent Sicilian craftsmanship that brings Palermo to life every spring. Organized by the ArtisticaMente Association, the event brings together the island's master artisans for an entire weekend, featuring strictly handmade creations: jewelry and bijoux, painting, woodwork, clothing, vintage items, and a food area with Sicilian confectionery specialties. Free admission, continuous hours, and free parking for two days dedicated to quality and local expertise.

ArtisticaMente, Sicilian craftsmanship on display

ArtisticaMente is the fair of excellence in craftsmanship that transforms one of the most elegant venues in Palermo into a showcase of Sicilian know-how every spring. Promoted by the ArtisticaMente Association, which has been committed to promoting local artistic production for years, the event celebrates the value of "handmade" and the talent of the island's master artisans.

A journey through handmade excellence

For two days, the fair's spaces host selected exhibitors presenting the best of Sicilian creativity. The public can discover and purchase original creations, the result of traditional techniques and quality artisanal research.

  • Handmade jewelry and bijoux
  • Painting and works of art
  • Woodwork and decorative objects
  • Handcrafted clothing and accessories
  • Vintage area dedicated to collectibles and retro items
  • Food area with gourmet sandwiches and typical Sicilian sweets

An event in the heart of Palermo

The fair takes place at the Grand Hotel Casena dei Colli, on Via Villa Rosato, a refined setting in the Municipality of Palermo, the capital of Sicily. The event, with free admission and continuous hours, is designed as an opportunity for residents and visitors to get closer to the island's craftsmanship in a welcoming environment, with free on-site parking available to the public.

Between tradition and new creativity

ArtisticaMente is not just a market: it is a meeting point between artisans and those who love unique objects, far from mass production. The initiative is part of a calendar of events that the ArtisticaMente Association organizes throughout the year in various locations in Palermo, helping to support and raise awareness of the Sicilian artisanal fabric and to pass on trades and traditions that are part of the city's cultural identity.
