Trieste Contemporanea is a hub of proposals and information on contemporary art. Since more than twenty years we’ve promoted “Dialogues with the Art of Central Eastern Europe”, and in the perfect Italian city where to do it: Trieste.
If you pass in Via del Monte you will find exhibitions, meetings, workshops (that merge you in the most advanced specialist research), but also a more informal atmosphere for enjoying, for example, a “videospritz” (a format we conceived at the beginning of the new century for chatting with important video artists or excellent emerging video artists while sipping an aperitif). You can find the experience of a consolidated European network of artists and curators or you can learn about a history of art which Italian people is not yet very familiar to.
Young artists have many opportunities here: they can apply to the Young European Artist Award, submit a project to the International Design Contest, or to the SQUEEZE IT Contest, at the European crossroads of visual arts, theatre and new media. Trieste Contemporanea also has its own library of contemporary art, which is part of the National Library System, through the University of Trieste Pole, and is a registered venue for university internships.
