From September 6 to 29, 2024, prepare to immerse yourselves in a unique artistic experience amidst the evocative hills of the Basso Monferrato. Germinale - Monferrato Art Fest, the annual curated exhibition of contemporary art by Francesca Canfora, bringing to life 12 municipalities with site-specific installations, sculptures, and exhibition projects.

Germinale, like the seventh month of the French Revolutionary calendar, evokes the idea of rebirth and flourishing, perfectly in line with the exhibition's goal: to enhance and promote the territory through contemporary art. Works by 19 established and mid-career artists will enter into dialogue with deconsecrated churches, castles, and other symbolic places, offering new interpretations and stimulating reflection.

In addition to the exhibitions, Germinale offers a rich program of collateral events:

• Artist residencies: Three emerging artists will have the opportunity to create site-specific works and interact with the local community.
• Talks, meetings, and walks: In-depth discussions and dialogues with artists and curators to unveil the secrets of the works and the project.
• Educational workshops: Creative activities for young and old to approach contemporary art in a playful way.

Germinale is not just an art exhibition, but an invitation to discover a territory rich in history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. An opportunity to immerse oneself in beauty and be inspired by contemporary art.
