The Portopiccolo Art Gallery represents “confirmation and development” of the contemporary art experiences created in recent years. Spread over different settings in the village, the installations have been designed and built on the presence and interaction with the artists, on the collaboration with other Italian galleries, and on the enhancement of the cultural resources of the territory.
Active since 2015, between solo and group exhibitions, the Gallery has seen the passage of hundreds of artists, from established international presences to the discovery and promotion of new talents from the territory. Not only art, a meeting point and intercultural relations in the style of the village, also through collaboration with the CASA C.A.V.E. Association for new artistic proposals related to contemporary art.
The artistic project also focuses on “living in the village”: the interior design choices of the rental apartments are enriched by the presence of original works of art or decorative paintings made ad hoc from QBX DESIGN, a company that has art design as its Mission and has chosen Portopiccolo as the first show-room. The presence of apartments of different types stimulates and enhances the choice between the works of more than seventy artists who, in recent years, have walked the Gallery's stage.
Gallery opening hours
Friday and Saturday from 5pm to 8pm
Sunday from 10am to 1pm and from 5pm to 8pm

The Gallery was also created to be a point of reference for residents and guests of the Village, a clubhouse where they can meet to search and find news and suggestions not only on the occasion of the classic vernissage. To have a “living room” in which you can entertain and develop relationships even outside the art world, through the living room reinterpretation of the exhibition spaces with the proposal of events in which art, scientific research, innovation, commerce, finance intersect and become contaminated.
Inside the Art Gallery, an atelier for photography has been created... an idea that, in the wake of visitors' curiosity, has now created an “art backstage” where you can rummage in search of testimonies of past exhibitions or suggestions of new artists to propose. A real archive, which contains traces of all the art and artists who have passed through Portocolo, a meeting place to appreciate different forms of expression.
