Il Cantiere Art Gallery Opens in Villorba with Street Art Focus
Il Cantiere Art Gallery, a multifunctional space in Villorba (Treviso), has opened in a converted 400 sqm industrial hangar with 8-meter ceilings. The gallery combines an art space, restaurant, and cocktail bar, aiming to attract a broad audience and give visibility to artists. Founded by young partners supported by a collector-patron and an international gallery, the space focuses on street art and urban art. It inaugurates on December 10 with a show by Sten Lex and Tellas, featuring fourteen works including two new site-specific pieces, running until February 20. Curated by Marcello Francolini, the exhibition reflects on counterculture history and the debate around street art in galleries. Future plans include expanding into an artistic district emphasizing quality, eco-sustainability, and beauty.
