Milano Art Week 2020 presents a program of initiatives, exhibitions and performances organized by the City of Milan (April 14-19), that flanks miart, the trade fair of modern and contemporary art that takes place in Fiera Milano (April 17-19). Milano Art Week sees the participation of major public institutions and private foundations, all inaugurating new exhibitions and original artistic commissions. The 2020 programme confirms Milan’s thriving exhibition scene, which makes it an international destination for art and reflects the diverse range of institutions and venues that form the city’s cultural mosaic.
