About miart

miart is Milan's international modern and contemporary art fair, one of the most important events on the Italian art calendar. At Allianz MiCo in CityLife, dozens of galleries from around the world present works ranging from the masters of the 20th century to the most experimental research of the present. With sections dedicated to historic and emerging galleries, special projects, and a packed program of events across the city during Milan Art Week, miart is the beating heart of Milan's contemporary art scene.

Contemporary Art in Milan

miart is the modern and contemporary art fair of the city of Milan, organized by Fiera Milano. Every spring, it draws galleries, collectors, curators, and enthusiasts from around the world to Milan, establishing itself as one of the key events for the art market and culture in Italy.

At Allianz MiCo in CityLife

The fair takes place in the South Wing of Allianz MiCo, the large convention center in the CityLife district, in Milan's 8th Municipality. The spacious exhibition areas host dozens of Italian and international galleries, in a journey that spans modernity and contemporaneity, from the great masters of the 20th century to the newest voices.

The Fair's Sections

miart's structure is divided into several sections: Established, dedicated to galleries presenting both 20th-century art and recent productions; Emergent, focused on experimentation and the promotion of emerging voices; and special projects like Movements, dedicated to moving images. For anniversary editions, an anthological section recounts the fair's trajectories and transformations over time.

The Heart of Milan Art Week

miart is the gravitational center of Milan Art Week, the week when the entire city comes alive with exhibitions, vernissages, and events held in museums, foundations, and galleries. Under the guidance of its artistic direction, the fair confirms Milan's role as the Italian capital of contemporary art and as a key international hub for collecting.
