The main events of Torino Contemporary Art Week: beyond the fairs
Turin Art Week does not end at the fairs. Museums, galleries, public and private spaces host a plethora of exhibitions, installations and performances, offering a 360-degree art experience. Among the events not to be missed:
Luci d'Artista
Luci d'Artista are a series of artistic installations that transform the city into an open-air museum every year. They are inaugurated with the Art Week and remain lit for the entire winter season. Evocative luminous creations, designed by internationally renowned artists, illuminate the city with plays of light and colour, creating a unique and suggestive atmosphere. They can be admired free of charge, starting from the historic centre all the way to the outskirts.

Diffusissima
Diffusissima is a project that takes art to new levels of enjoyment and transforms the city into a widespread, vibrant, inclusive museum. The fuorisalone, to be held during art week, aims to bring contemporary art to city spaces, involving people in art-related but nontraditional events and transforming the fruition of the works into a POP moment, outside the traditional circuits.
C2C Festival
Club To Club Festival is an avant-pop and electronic music festival, among the most established in Europe, held annually in Turin in conjunction with Piedmont's Contemporary Art Week. It is not just a festival, but an immersive experience that engages the public in 360 degrees, with art installations, live performances, workshops and DJ sets taking place in various atmospheric locations around the city.
