About Arte Fiera 2024

In 2024, Arte Fiera will celebrate its 50th birthday: something that no other Italian art fair has achieved and that only two other fairs in Europe have exceeded. It all began back in 1974, when BolognaFiere decided to present (along with what was then called the Trade Fair) a small section devoted to modern and contemporary art. A brilliant idea and an immediate success. The first edition had only ten galleries; a year later, there were 200.

1974-2024: an important anniversary that Arte Fiera will celebrate not only by looking back, but also by thinking about its future.

On the one hand, the fair will celebrate its origins: the Public Program will reconsider the personalities and events linked to its early editions and, in general, to Bologna’s cultural climate in the ‘70s, when the city was at the cutting edge in visual art as well as in architecture and design. On the other, in addition to offering the finest modern and contemporary Italian art, Arte Fiera will point out new trends, once again presenting foreign galleries, the latest in performance art, and asking contemporary artists to create new works.
