PaviArt — Fair of Modern and Contemporary Art

Pavia, the capital of art for a weekend

PaviArt is the modern and contemporary art fair in Pavia, the capital of its province in Lombardy. Hosted at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Piazzale Europa, the fair has grown edition after edition to become one of the most followed events in the exhibition calendar of Northern Italy, attracting galleries, collectors, and enthusiasts from all over the country and abroad.

Over 70 galleries

The heart of the event is the over 70 Italian and international galleries that exhibit their proposals: painting, sculpture, photography, installations, digital art, and performances. The variety of styles and the quality of the works make PaviArt a precious opportunity to discover established and emerging artists, and for collectors of all levels.

Not just an exhibition

PaviArt is not just a fair-market. The program includes a talk area with meetings and workshops in collaboration with cultural institutions, archives, and foundations, musical moments curated by the Vittadini Conservatory, and in-depth panels on current topics, such as the relationship between artificial intelligence and contemporary art. A pavilion is dedicated to sculpture, one of the most significant mediums in contemporary art.

An event for the city

Also part of the Pavia Innovation Week, PaviArt represents a moment of cultural openness and tourist attraction for the city. For visitors, it is an opportunity to immerse themselves in today's art in a single venue, and for Pavia, it is a chance to establish itself as a hub for art and collecting in Lombardy.
