The showcase of excellence in Sicilian craftsmanship in Palermo
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.
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.
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.
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.
The 2026 spring edition of ArtisticaMente brought the Grand Hotel Casena dei Colli in Palermo to life on May 9 and 10, 2026. The fair brought together exhibitors and master artisans with a selection ranging from jewelry and bijoux to painting, from woodwork to clothing and accessories, and even a vintage area dedicated to collectibles. There was also a food area with gourmet sandwiches and typical Sicilian sweets. Admission was free, with continuous hours from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM and free on-site parking.
