This week, a new three-day arts celebration is launching in Turin, Italy, with hopes to mark the city’s emergence from a tumultuous lockdown period and to lure art lovers back to exhibition spaces.
Dubbed OVERTURE 2020 and organized by the Torino Art Galleries Association, the event centers on a citywide series of coordinated gallery openings. Thirteen of its most prestigious spaces will launch new (and in one case, postponed) exhibitions from September 22 through 24. The long-awaited shows will include expanded daylong openings, scheduled and staggered entries, and extensive online materials for those not quite ready to visit in person.
If you happen to be in town this week, you won’t want to miss the celebratory event. We’ve pulled together a list of openings worth an in-person peek. Bring your eyes, and wear a mask!
