Arte in Nuvola: Rome's new contemporary art fair debuts in November 2021
The contemporary art fair, Arte in Nuvola, is set to take place from November 18 to 21, 2021, at the Nuvola convention center, under the direction of Alessandro Nicosia. This event features 100 galleries, with 32 hailing from Rome, and pays tribute to the legacy of Roman galleries through La Nuova Pesa. The fair spans two levels: the General Floor showcases modern art, while the first floor is dedicated to contemporary works, including sections for Main, New Entries, and Solo Show. Notable pieces include those by Mario Sironi, Jannis Kounellis, Lothar Götz, and Janet Echelman. Israel is the guest country, presenting a collective exhibition of 17 artists. Adriana Polveroni serves as the artistic director, with Valentina Ciarallo providing support, focusing on cultural regeneration and integration.
