Art in the City Milano is an art and cultural centre founded in 2013 in the heart of Milano aimed at creating a
meeting place for artists and creatives. All the events are thought and designed to spread a more informal
and out-of-the-box approach to art and creativity in a business-oriented city like Milano. We support both
professional and emerging artists.
