Also this year the summer season in Pietrasanta will be characterized by the exclusive Collectors Night, the unmissable event organized by the art galleries of the historic center that are part of the ANGAMC, the national association of modern and contemporary art galleries. This year the event reaches its seventh edition to be held on Saturday 4 June and as every time it will be characterized by a path inside the various art galleries that dot the city center, starting from 18:00 until from 18:00 midnight.
The coordinator of the galleries Claudio Francesconi is pleased to present the Collectors Night again this year, anticipating the event by one month compared to past years, explaining that he organized the event in a quieter and less hectic period than in July, but while ensuring the continuity of the initiative. Galleries will participate in the evening, all by now established in the artistic panorama: “They are all historicized galleries that have many works from over 40 in the sector and are linked to tradition and continuous research; galleries opened by foreign collectors and lovers of beauty, who have become gallery owners who have brought different visions and interpretations of a universe that will never have its own code to be deciphered; but also galleries that turn their gaze to the black continent, which has so much to tell when we talk about art and culture. Everyone has their own specific project that will compose the mosaic of the versatility of the artistic situation, showing the trends and demands of the public between consolidated collecting and new forms of arrival in art "explains Alessio Musella, editor and art expert, speaking of the galleries associated with the ANGAMC.
The itinerary foreseen by the event will run through 10 galleries, will open their doors to collectors, tourists and who will have the opportunity to admire wonderful works of contemporary art. But let's see specifically the exhibitions that will be present:
