Contemporary art in Turin? On Saturday 4 October, promoted by Amaci, the Association of Italian Contemporary Art Museums, entry-free museums and a series of parallel events will celebrate the day of contemporary art beyond national borders as well.
In Turin, Castello di Rivoli and the Galleria di Arte Moderna GAM, part of the association, will join the initiative. So why not take advantage of the opportunity to get to know these Turin beauties? Thanks to the activities organised by the school, the students of Scuola Leonardo often visit them and are really enthusiastic about them!
The city of Turin really has a lot to offer in terms of contemporary art thanks to many specific events, in addition to examples of urban art that not only fill the city with colour but also combine social commitment and promotion of the area.
Contemporary art events in Turin
Turin is well known worldwide for its contemporary art events, organised especially during Art Week.
- Artissima, the thirty-second edition of this international contemporary art fair runs at the Oval Lingotto from 31 October to 2 November 2025 and features 176 galleries from 33 countries and 5 continents at the Oval Lingotto
- Paratissima promotes emerging city artists and runs from 29 October to 2 November 2025
- The Others, the thirteenth edition of this independent fair, which aims to give space to emerging artists, will be in Turin from 30 October to 2 November 2025
Not to be underestimated is the important role played in the city’s contemporary art scene by the Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation, one of the first private foundations in Italy.
Street art as contemporary art?
One of the forms of contemporary art not to be missed in Turin is street art. In many neighbourhoods there are masterpieces of street art, so much so that Turin is one of the cities with the largest number of street art works in the world: a true open-air museum!
We therefore suggest a stroll through the different districts to discover the various works or enrolling in our Italian course for foreigners in Turin: in addition to the lessons, in your free time we will take you to discover the city and its wonders!
Our guides know how to amaze students during a visit to Turin’s MAU, the Museum of Urban Art, to Borgo Campidoglio and the many examples of contemporary and street art in Turin.
Contemporary art at the Scuola Leonardo
In our headquarters, on the third floor of Piazza San Carlo 206, we also wanted to pay homage to Piedmontese excellence with the artistic skill of We Run the Streets that has added some colour to our classrooms with artwork in thematic areas.
In addition to competent teachers, professional and fun lessons, you can enjoy Italian lessons in Turin in a relaxed, captivating, modern and comfortable environment.
These are just a few examples of contemporary art in Turin. To discover Turin’s contemporary art, we look forward to seeing you at the Scuola Leonardo!
