The open-air art gallery of Via XX Settembre
Pittori in Contrada is one of the most characteristic events in Conegliano, in the province of Treviso, and for decades has distinguished the city's September. The initiative, organised by the Associazione Contrada Granda with the patronage of the Municipality, transforms the city's main street into a true open-air art gallery.
The works are displayed along the entire Via XX Settembre and in Piazza Cima, amidst the frescoed buildings and arcades that make this contrada one of the most evocative corners of the Veneto region. Dozens of painters, some from outside the region, exhibit their art and have the opportunity to sell some of their works to visitors.
The open-air gallery concept combines the appreciation of art with the discovery of the historic centre, in a direct dialogue between artists and the public. An anticipated event, capable of attracting thousands of visitors and confirming Conegliano's artistic and cultural vocation.
In 2026, Pittori in Contrada is expected for its 38th edition in September, confirming one of the most beloved events in Conegliano.
The open-air art gallery stretches along Via XX Settembre and Piazza Cima, amidst the frescoed buildings of the historic centre, with dozens of painters from various regions. The organisation is curated by the Associazione Contrada Granda with the patronage of the Municipality. The precise dates for the 2026 edition will be announced closer to the event, presumably on the second weekend of September as is tradition.
