MEGA Art Fair Returns to Milan in New UFO Space for 2025 Edition
The MEGA Art Fair, a unique contemporary art event, will take place for its second edition from April 2 to 6, 2025, at the UFO space located at Via Orobia 26 in Milan's Scalo di Porta Romana district. This renovated industrial venue from the 1950s is also home to Fondazione ICA and Galleria Scaramouche, established by Fabio Lucarelli, Claudio Larcher, and Nicolas Ballario. The fair will showcase 23 galleries from major cities such as London, Paris, and Berlin. A new segment, curated by Marcelle Joseph, will explore the influence of women and queer artists in fashion. Additionally, the public program will feature talks, performances, video screenings, and a tour of the Collezione Maramotti, all designed to encourage open dialogue without booth barriers.
