PROGRAMME 2026

Art Advisor on demand
 

Advisor on Demand is a project by Cremona Art Fair 2026 designed to bring new generations—particularly Millennials and Gen Z—closer to art collecting, offering practical tools to navigate and understand the contemporary art system.

​

Through free consultations and guided tours across the fair booths, visitors will have the opportunity to engage with under-35 advisors and curators, gaining insights into artists, artistic languages, price ranges, and market dynamics. The format consists of short, one-on-one sessions lasting 30 minutes, conceived as moments of cultural mediation and learning, aimed at making the first approach to collecting more accessible.

​

The project seeks to promote a new form of visual literacy, encouraging a more conscious, informed, and direct relationship with contemporary art, while restoring the role of the art advisor as an ethical, transparent, and guiding mediator between the public, artworks, and the market.

​

Bookings are available on Saturday and Sunday by writing to info@cremonaartfair.it

Sound Performance​​​

 

Cremona Art Fair presents Stanza d’ascolto, a project curated by Michele Lombardelli that introduces, within the fair, a space dedicated to sound as an artistic language.

​

In recent decades, sound has become an increasingly central medium in the research of many visual artists, spanning installation, performance, and composition. From Luigi Russolo to figures such as Giuseppe Chiari, Nam June Paik, Carsten Nicolai, and Anne Imhof, the relationship between visual art and the sonic dimension has taken on ever-evolving forms.

​

Stanza d’ascolto emerges as a way to give shape to this evolution: an environment designed for listening sessions featuring sound works and compositions by contemporary artists, played from physical media through a high-end audio system. An experience that restores centrality to time, quality, and the physical presence of sound.

​

The design and installation of the audio system are entrusted to Audio Graffiti (Pandino, CR), a company specializing in high-end audio components.

​

Alongside the listening space, the project also presents an exhibition of artist materials related to sonic research—scores, books, catalogues, and documents—highlighting the dialogue between visual arts and music. In a city like Cremona, deeply rooted in musical and lutherie traditions, Stanza d’ascolto opens a contemporary dialogue between musical heritage, artistic research, and the culture of listening.

Premio Prospettive

​

The Premio Prospettive is promoted by collector Angelo Di Bartolomeo and is dedicated to emerging and mid-career artists presented by participating galleries. Conceived as a thoughtful acquisition, the prize offers galleries the opportunity to support and enhance the visibility of their artists among collectors and institutions.

The jury will be composed of Andrea Bruciati (independent curator), Carla Gerbino (independent curator), and Angelo Di Bartolomeo.

Talk

 

The Talks' design reflects the art publishing approach of providing a platform for dialogue between artistic techniques, methodologies, and perspectives. The participating entities in the Editor section have been matched based on similarities and differences, so that the presentation is a moment of discussion and openness, both among themselves and with the public .
