iART Ustica – Multidisciplinary Arts Festival

iART Ustica 2025 – The first edition

iART Ustica debuted from September 4 to 7, 2025, launching a multidisciplinary arts festival designed to highlight the sea and the natural and cultural heritage of the island of Ustica, in the province of Palermo. Four days of immersive experiences wove together visual art, music, dance, and outreach related to the marine environment, appealing to both local and international audiences.

Among the protagonists of the first edition, Malika Ayane and Roy Paci headlined the main Saturday evening with an extraordinary performance. The program kicked off with "The Collective Painting," a large mural created by Fabio Ingrassia to tell the story of the territory, followed by a concert from the band Il Mago Del Gelato. The artistic and general direction of the Ustum Cultural Programme was entrusted to Lucenzo Tambuzzo.
