About Contemporanea

Contemporanea is the contemporary art collective of Montelabbate, in the hinterland of the province of Pesaro and Urbino. Housed in the rooms of Spazio Nobili, inside the historic Palazzo Municipale, the exhibition brings together painters and artists from the Marche region and beyond, in a dialogue between different languages, techniques, and visions. Curated by local artist Leonardo Nobili, it offers painting, visual research, and experimentation in an exhibition path that is also a meeting point for artists, citizens, and art enthusiasts.

Contemporanea, art in the heart of Montelabbate

Contemporanea is the contemporary art collective that animates the Spazio Nobili in Montelabbate every year, a small municipality in the hilly hinterland of the province of Pesaro and Urbino, in the Marche region. The exhibition transforms the rooms of the historic Palazzo Municipale on Via Roma into a widespread gallery where painting, visual research, and experimentation meet and dialogue. It is not a simple exhibition: it is an opportunity for exchange between artists, citizens, and enthusiasts, designed to bring the public closer to the art of our time.

Spazio Nobili

The exhibition is held in Spazio Nobili, the exhibition space that the municipal administration has dedicated to the Montelabbate artist Leonardo Nobili within the historic and restored Palazzo Municipale, at Via Roma 8. It has become the reference point for art in Montelabbate, capable of hosting collective exhibitions, conferences, and cultural events throughout the year.

A choral collective exhibition

The common thread of Contemporanea is the dialogue between different languages and visions: each edition showcases the works of numerous artists, from the Marche region and beyond, offering a rich and articulated view of contemporary creativity. Alongside canvases and visual research, the calendar is often enriched with conferences, contributions from art critics, and moments of literary approfondimento that broaden the reflection on the exhibited works.

A local project

Contemporanea is promoted by the Municipality of Montelabbate, in collaboration with the 50&Piรน Associazione Pesaro e Urbino project, and curated by Leonardo Nobili. The event is part of the vibrant cultural season of the Pesaro area and contributes to enhancing the local artistic heritage, confirming itself as an anticipated event for those who love art and wish to discover the cultural face of a Marche village often outside the major tourist circuits.

Why it's worth a visit

  • A contemporary art collective in a cozy and authentic setting in the Marche region.
  • The opportunity to get to know local artists and their latest research up close.
  • An itinerary that combines exhibition, meetings, and conferences.
  • Free admission, in a restored historic palace in the center of Montelabbate.
