South Tyrol – a region welcomes contemporary art.

The region of the art fair KunStart is renowned for its artistic flair. It hosted the last edition of the European biennal of contemporary art, Manifesta 7, and offers more space to contemporary art in its many prestigious museums and exhibitions, such as the Museion in Bolzano, the Mart in Rovereto, the Galleria Civica in Trento and the Kunst Merano Arte in Merano. In this lively and versatile environment, new generations of art collectors emerge. This is also an open, multilingual and multicultural region, and is thus destined to be a venue for art dealers and enthusiasts.

KunStart – the art market and its context.

Focusing on the developments in the international art market, KunStart is based on an open vision, and pays special attention to the many influences that contemporary art has on fields such as design, communications and industrial production. We aim at consolidating the presence of art in everyday life, and try to deepen the relationship between the population and the artists in order to create new connections between art, architecture and landscape.
