Casa degli Artisti Milano Opens February 1, 2020 with Public Celebration
On February 1, 2020, Milan's Casa degli Artisti will reopen its doors after a 110-year hiatus, thanks to a public tender awarded to five nonprofit organizations: ZONA K, That's Contemporary, Spazio XPO', NIC, and Centro Itard Lombardia. The restoration, carried out by Arassociati Studio di Architettura, was funded by an €800,000 contribution from La Ducale SpA. The inauguration will feature several events, including a garden naming for artist Pippa Bacca, an exhibition titled "Pippa Bacca | Sempreverde," performances, a reading by Luca Scarlini, and a DJ set. The 2020 agenda will highlight "Dentro la Casa" and "Fuori dalla Casa," with founding resident artists such as Peter Welz and others selected through an open call. The ATS aims to establish fundraising efforts and partnerships, alongside an on-site bookshop and bar-restaurant. This initiative began under Mayor Pisapia and was finalized under Mayor Sala.
