"Art Walks" in collaboration with GAL

"Art Walks" is a stimulating walking tour exploring Lugano's art galleries and street art, created in collaboration with GAL, the city's gallery association. The experience invites participants to discover contemporary art and to meet key figures from the avant-garde cultural scene, whose work plays a vital role in shaping the city's dynamic and international character. Through their insightful view of the present, you will gain an understanding of how today's artistic scene emerges and develops.
