Galleriasanalla

Galleriasanalla is a contemporary art gallery and cultural venue located in the historic center of Verona, Italy. Established in 2010, it was founded by a cooperative of artists, curators, and educators with the aim of presenting experimental art and fostering active public engagement. The space is housed in a former industrial building redesigned by architect Elena Moretti to accommodate large-scale installations and intimate viewing rooms.

The galleries consist of two main exhibition halls, a project space, a reading room, and a small café. The program emphasizes contemporary art practices, with a focus on video, installation, performance, and interdisciplinary work by European and international artists. In addition to temporary exhibitions, Galleriasanalla runs artist residencies, public talks, education programs for schools, and community events aimed at widening access to contemporary art.

The collection is built around works created for display at the venue, along with a rotating selection of works on paper and video from its programs. While not a major encyclopedic collection, the gallery’s holdings are used to study trends in experimental art and the relationship between audience and space. Notable past exhibitions include retrospectives of Italian video artists and thematic surveys exploring memory, urbanity, and sound.

Galleriasanalla is regarded as a regional hub for experimental art and a training ground for younger curators. It participates in national and European gallery networks and publishes reader-friendly catalog essays and online programs that accompany exhibitions.

Open to the public most days with an admission policy aligned to local cultural institutions, the gallery emphasizes accessibility and audience dialogue.
