Artissima is known for being the most important contemporary art fair in Italy. It was established in 1994 and is the longest running art fair in the country as well. The primary goal of this event is to raise awareness for experimental and innovative art. There are numerous galleries that participate in this event every year, including international exhibitors. There are different sections of this event including specially curated pieces that give attention to pieces that are just a little unique. There is a New Entries section, which features young galleries, and newly emerging artists under the age of 40. There is another section for drawings.
The 2021 event is set to take place from November 5th and the 7th. The tickets for this event should be available later on, usually about a month or 2 before the event.
