A new story of the Park

The Chianti Sculpture Park celebrates its first twenty years of activity in 2024! This is also the opportunity to open new spaces to the public, a portion of the Park designed as an open-air gallery which will be used for temporary exhibitions.

«In 2024 we will celebrate the first 20 years of the Park – explains the director of the Sculpture Park, Chiara Bozzi – and we will do so with events, activities designed for different audiences and a new exhibition area, created in another suggestive corner of our forest. The opening of the route dedicated to temporary exhibitions therefore marks, in some way, a new season for the Park which looks to the contemporary, while maintaining the link with its past. The open-air Gallery blends perfectly with the permanent exhibition, maintaining its characteristics and uniqueness: here too, in fact, art will be the means to enhance nature and its beauty, to reflect on man’s interventions and will open the doors to local and international artists called to dialogue with the forest in a continuous site-specific journey”.
