Arte Fiera, Bologna: new dates. Art City also postponed

Arte Fiera announces new dates for its 45th edition, which will be held in Bologna May 13-15 (cpn invitation-only preview May 12). The event will take place in Pavilions 15 and 18 of the Bologna Fairgrounds.

After the decision to postpone the traditional edition at the end of January, which was supposed to take place starting today, BolognaFiere’s choice, in agreement with artistic director Simone Menegoi, is to reschedule the Fair in the spring season. The goal is to ensure a safe and high quality event, in line with its vocation and tradition, within which professionals and the general public who have always attended the art fair can meet.

"The location of Arte Fiera in mid-May was chosen because it fits without overlapping into the calendar of major national and international art fairs," said Simone Menegoi. "Remembering also the positive response of Art City in May last year, we are confident that it will be enjoyed by all."

During the days of Arte Fiera, the city will also be enlivened by the exhibitions and events of Art City, which has chosen to change its dates to maintain its close ties with the fair event."Art City and Arte Fiera together for a great celebration of art that enhances and transforms Bologna from the pavilions of the Fair to the places spread throughout the city in a great map of art to be discovered. Art City and Arte Fiera have been sharing since 2013 a unified strategy for the enhancement of the city’s artistic heritage thanks to an integrated network strategy that involves public and private exhibition venues, galleries, historic buildings and public spaces during the days of Arte Fiera in a fruition of places that will spread throughout the city," commented Elena Di Gioia, culture delegate of the Municipality of Bologna. "This sharing, which was interrupted last year by the aftermath of the pandemic, will resume in this edition in May, in a new way of fruition of places and outdoors, and will offer both visitors to Arte Fiera and citizens of the metropolitan area a particularly rich and stimulating cultural program to celebrate the joy of being together again with art and culture at the center of our communities."
