PROJECTS
ROADSHOW
Art4Women’s RoadShow, funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU, is a creative lab and travelling exhibition aboard an electric cargo van, officially launched during Milano Art Week 2026. Each stop brings the community’s artworks, open workshops and encounters between artists, businesses and local communities to a new Italian city, with the van itself transformed into a work of art through the contributions of three artists selected via open call. More than an exhibition project, it is a cultural act in motion: a way of bringing art out of galleries and into public squares, building real connections between creativity and territory.
ART RETREAT
The Art4Women Art Retreat is an immersive one-week experience on Lake Como, designed for a small, carefully selected group of international art enthusiasts. Each day weaves together workshops and labs led by artists from the community in stunning historic villas, exclusive performances, and visits to museums and artists’ studios—alongside the opportunity to experience the region authentically: the beauty of the lake, the cuisine, the wine, as well as design and fashion in Milan. More than a trip, it is an opportunity for a deep encounter with contemporary creativity, Italian culture, and people who share the same curiosity about the world.
